Support Groups & Community Gatherings

Memphis Support Group Dinner

What happens when a few passionate women meet over dinner? In Memphis, this small but mighty group is already planning to light up the city in teal this September — shining a spotlight on ovarian cancer awareness. We’re inspired by their drive, heart, and vision, and we can’t wait to watch this incredible team grow.

Knoxvil Support Group Dinner

More than just a dinner, this gathering was a testament to the power of community. These women are building a safe space to ask questions, offer support, and share strength. Together, they are planning a Knoxville Ovarian Cancer Walk later this year to raise awareness and show the power of unity.

Chattanooga Support Group Dinner

Though it was our first time gathering as a group, it felt like we had known each other for years. The energy in the room was undeniable — full of warmth, support, and a shared desire to uplift and empower one another. As we continue to build these relationships, we look forward to welcoming more incredible women into our circle.

Programs, Workshops & Outreach

  • Origami Workshops

  • House of Games

  • Awareness Bookmarks distributed at events and in doctors’ offices to help educate and spark important conversations

How Tennessee in Teal Supports Women

Supporting women throughout their ovarian cancer journey remains at the heart of everything we do. TN in Teal continues to:

  • Host local support group dinners across Tennessee

  • Distribute blessing bags to women undergoing chemotherapy, including footwear, hats, blankets, and Tennessee in Teal support materials

Awareness & Advocacy Highlights

🌍 World Ovarian Cancer Day – May 8

Established in 2013, World Ovarian Cancer Day is a global moment of solidarity. On May 8, we joined voices worldwide to raise awareness, honor those affected, and continue advocating for education and early detection.

🎲 House of Games – February 10

A fun-filled day of games, raffles, and a silent auction, with all proceeds donated to building ovarian cancer awareness across Tennessee.
