Ovarian Cancer ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women according to the American Cancer Society. A woman has a one in seventy eight chance of getting ovarian cancer during her lifetime also according to the American Cancer Society. The UK Markey Cancer Center Ovarian Cancer Screening program has been in existence since 1987 and has been and is currently working to combat this “silent killer.” The screening program provides free annual sonographic screenings to women across Kentucky with the goal of detecting cancer early.  According to statistics from the program, more than 47,000 participants have received more than 310,000 free screenings or more than 1200 per month. Members of the Muhlenberg County Homemakers Association have been involved in raising funds for this program since the late 1990’s. They utilized a bean supper, silent auction, live auction and quilt raffle in 2022 to generate funds for this worthwhile cause. They donated a total of $4,200 to the UK Markey Cancer Center Ovarian Cancer Research and Screening Program.
