Sharsheret is looking for volunteer bakers and hosts to coordinate local bake sales in their communities! Join Sharsheret’s Pies for Prevention bake sale and join our effort to raise awareness about ovarian cancer and support women and families affected by the disease.

Launched in 2008 by sisters Adeena Sussman and Sharon Wieder in memory of their mother and grandmother, both lost to ovarian cancer, Pies for Prevention takes place in cities across the country in the days leading up to Thanksgiving. Proceeds benefit the Stephanie Sussman and Ann Nadrich Memorial Jewel and Sharsheret's Ovarian Cancer Program. By coordinating a pie sale in your community, you help raise life-saving awareness for a cause that touches so many lives. Want to coordinate a local sale? Contact Talia Lerner to get started.

Sharsheret, Hebrew for chain, is the only national organization supporting Jewish women and families, of all backgrounds, facing breast and ovarian cancer—those who are diagnosed and those at high risk.
