2 What Based in Seattle, Swedish is the largest nonprofit health-care provider in the Greater Seattle area. In independent research by National Research Corporation, Swedish is consistently named the area s best hospital, with the best doctors, nurses and care in a variety of specialty areas. The SummeRun was created in 1994 by Swedish and the Rivkin family, in memory of Marsha Rivkin, who had recently lost her life to ovarian cancer. Marsha was the wife of longtime Swedish Oncologist, Dr. Saul Rivkin (now retired). Since its inception, the SummeRun has raised more than $8 million to fund ovarian cancer research through the Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer, and has become a major annual community event in Seattle. 100% of sponsorship dollars and all funds raised through the event benefit the nonprofit Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer and its mission to save lives and reduce suffering through improved treatment, early detection, and prevention of ovarian cancer. When and Where Sunday, July 16, 2017 in Seattle s First Hill Neighborhood 6:30 am 8:00 am Registration 8:15 am Start of run/walk 9:45 am Festivities, tributes and awards Why Ovarian cancer is the most deadly of all gynecologic cancers and the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the United States. While survival rates for other women s cancers like breast and cervical cancer have dramatically improved in recent years, the incidence and mortality of ovarian cancer has remained virtually unchanged in 40 years. Seven in ten women die within five years of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer research is under-funded and greater public awareness of the problem is needed. By sponsoring this prominent Seattle event, your company will have the opportunity to support vital advances for women impacted by this deadly disease. Best of all, thanks to the generous underwriting of Swedish, 100% of your sponsorship dollars and all funds raised through the event will benefit the Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer.
