Faith Deanna Johnson Foundation

Organization Mission:

Our mission is to empower and educate women and their families of the #1 cause of gynecologic cancer deaths - ovarian cancer. This mission is implemented through awareness, advocacy and information of ovarian and other prevalent cancers of the reproductive system, aimed at closing the gap in access, improving overall health to save lives. Ovarian cancer is considered a silent killer. Our support services and programs offer outreach to increase early detection that can reduce the dire statistics where over 80% of those diagnosed with ovarian cancer die annually.

Support Faith Deanna Johnson Foundation and its mission to serve communities in Delaware.
About Faith Deanna Johnson Foundation

Annually over 20,000 women die from this disease, our Awareness Campaign started in 2023 with our first "Dreams of Faith Walk".  September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month! Support our 2026 Walk to be held on September 12th at the University of Delaware.

Our Advocacy led to the March 2024 legislation aimed at Early Detection. Governor Carney signed the HB-15 Faith Deanna Johnson Act - this is a direct result of our advocacy work! This legislation allows women in Delaware to receive screening/testing for this disease now covered by insurance. Our goal is to promote awareness of this legislation and monitor its effectiveness. See our website to learn more about risks and symptoms.
