Colleen’s Dream Foundation to Host Fashion Show & Party on September 25th to Raise Funds for Ovarian Cancer
Colleen’s Dream Foundation to date has raised and distributed more than $368,000 in support of ovarian cancer research with the primary goal of finding an early detection test. During Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, Colleen’s Dream will continue its quest to raise much-needed research dollars by hosting “Cocktails & Couture” on September 25th.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with our success so far in helping fund critical research to find a solution for early detection and avoid unnecessary deaths,” stated Nicole Cundiff, executive director of Colleen’s Dream Foundation. “However, research requires time and money, and we are more focused than ever on our work to make a difference and save lives.”
Cocktails & Couture will feature a high-energy fashion show provided by top local boutiques Amy inc, Mae & Marie and Bonafide. In addition, guests will be treated to bites from The Upton, craft beer from Crescent Crown Distributing, and signature cocktails by Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Young’s Market.

About Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is often referred to as “the silent killer” because many women do not discover their disease until it is in the late stages, which leads to many women succumbing to the disease within a short period of time. Unlike cervical or breast cancer, ovarian cancer does not have a standardized early detection procedure. When it comes to women’s health, ovarian cancer proves to be one of the deadliest diseases.
About Colleen’s Dream Foundation
Colleen’s Dream Foundation was founded in 2012 and supports research for early detection and improved treatment for ovarian cancer. The story of Colleen’s Dream started in 2007 when Colleen Drury — Nicole Cundiff’s mother and Billy Cundiff’s mother-in-law — was diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer. The family became aware of a new world that was filled with invasive surgery, harsh chemotherapy and overwhelming uncertainty, and realized they needed to help others who were dealing with ovarian cancer. Colleen’s Dream Foundation believes it is important to raise money for research that will lead to reliable early detection testing and improved treatment for ovarian cancer. Because so little is known about ovarian cancer in proportion to other women’s health issues, there is an incredible opportunity for research and education.
Colleen’s Dream Foundation is a qualified 501 (c)(3) tax exempt non-profit organization based in Phoenix, Arizona.
