Turn the Towns Teal

Every September, the Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation will hosts an annual Turn the Towns Teal campaign in an effort to raise awareness about ovarian cancer and support research efforts to find a cure. During September, which is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey are dressed in teal, the official color of the disease. The Philadelphia skyline is ablaze in teal lights, select merchants show their support with special window displays and signage and ribbons of the same color adorn main streets and neighborhoods in communities across the area.
