@LOVEHERTO @OvarianCanada @robertherjavec - LOVE HER


 Now in its third year, LOVE HER is back and bigger than ever. With three events across Canada, Ovarian Cancer Canada is thrilled to celebrate with an evening of fashion, comedy, cocktails, music and exciting live and silent auctions. With events across Canada in Toronto (February 27), Calgary (March 6) and Vancouver (May), LOVE HER will honour those affected by the disease and raise money for ovarian cancer research. At LOVE HER Toronto, Ovarian Cancer Canada will once again present the Karen Campbell National Award for Research Excellence to a major contributor in the field of ovarian cancer in Canada. Tickets for all three events are currently available for purchase at www.love-her.ca

This year LOVE HER is delighted to announce former Dragon on CBC's Dragon's Den and current Shark on ABC's Shark Tank, Robert Herjavec as the Honourary Chairman of LOVE HER 2014. Herjavec's mother succumbed to the most overlooked and under-diagnosed of women's cancers and his strong presence and support is greatly appreciated in the fight against ovarian cancer. LOVE HER welcomes back Canadian comedienne Jessica Holmes (CBC's hit show Royal Canadian Air Farce) as the Master of Ceremonies for the Calgary and Vancouver galas this year and promises to keep the crowd in high spirits and entertained with her spot-on impersonations, impeccable wit and shocking off-the-cuff moments.

"We are so thrilled to announce the national series of the 2014 LOVE HER events," said Elisabeth Baugh, CEO, Ovarian Cancer Canada. "The success of the 2013 events was overwhelming. We received very positive feedback from all of the survivors, Canadian celebrity hosts, sponsors and guestsWe want to continue to raise awareness and funds to make a significant difference in the lives of women living with ovarian cancer, their friends and family, and help change the present reality for those affected by this fatal disease." 
 


 
Currently 17,000 women in Canada are afflicted by this disease; LOVE HER pays tribute to these women by helping to raise awareness of the most overlooked and under-diagnosed of women's cancer. There is no screening test for ovarian cancer and the often late detection of this disease results in a shocking five-year survival rate of less than 30%. Join us at the spectacular LOVE HER event as we celebrate women and raise awareness of the most fatal women's cancer. 

2014's Top Sponsors include: CIBC, Bayview Village, Elizabeth Arden, and Andrews
