The Village of Maybrook has proudly recognized Ovarian and Breast Cancer Awareness for many years. Our recognition of Ovarian Cancer Awareness was originally brought to our community through the Feller family in loving memory of Corrine Feller. This cause also became deeply personal to me and my family when my late wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and, after a long and courageous battle, sadly passed away from the disease.
Over the years, we expanded our efforts to include Breast Cancer Awareness as well, recognizing the many individuals and families whose lives have been impacted by this disease. Education, awareness, and early detection are extremely important and can help save lives.
The Village of Maybrook will continue to recognize Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in September and Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, and we encourage our residents, businesses, and organizations to join us by displaying teal ribbons throughout September and pink ribbons throughout October. Together, we can honor those we have lost, support those who continue to fight, celebrate the survivors, and help bring greater awareness to these important causes.
