Cheyenne Tozzi: leading model, TV presenter and ambassador for the White Shirt Campaign which is raising funds to help fight ovarian cancer.

The White Shirt Campaign’s mission is to save lives with Witchery, the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) and NewsLifeMedia (publisher of news.com.au) will officially announce the launch of the eighth annual campaign this evening at the Sydney Opera House.

Ambassadors and supporters this year include Didier Cohen, Megan Irwin, Cheyenne Tozzi, Yaya Deng, Natalie Roser, Chantal Monaghan and Margaret Zhang.

Together, the white shirt brigade plan to get the message out there that to find an early detection test for ovarian cancer is crucial.

And when you buy a white shirt during the campaign, Witchery will donate everything (except GST) to the OCRF.

“The 2016 White Shirt Campaign collaboration between Witchery and the OCRF is positioned yet again to set a new benchmark in philanthropy nationally,’’ says Liz Heliotis, CEO/Founder Ovarian Cancer research Foundation.

“Uniquely, the stylish retailer Witchery positions 100 per cent of gross proceeds to the OCRF’s vital research endeavours and have thus far raised close to $8 million.

“This is true people empowerment for the broader community, because everyone can get involved in re-scripting woman’s health so there is less to fear in the future.

Ms Heliotis adds that a collection of nine women’s shirts and one men’s shirt will be available for purchase throughout the campaign at Witchery.com.au and from their stores as well.

For the first time, three limited edition pieces of silver and crystal jewellery will also contribute to the cause, with everything except gst from the sale of each piece donated directly to the OCRF.

The campaign culminates on Monday, May 2, with OCRF White Shirt Day, when the entire community is asked to wear a white shirt as a powerful symbol of their collective commitment to finding an early detection test for ovarian cancer.

“The community, the media and ‘influencers’ are urged to drive the white shirt campaign message further than ever before by pledging their support on social media using #whiteshirtcampaign.”

By wearing and sharing their white shirt on social media, finishing the sentence ‘I wear a white shirt because’ and nominating a loved one to do the same, everyone has the power to continue to share the campaign’s mission and help save lives.

Funds raised through the White Shirt Campaign support the OCRF’s mission to find an early detection test for ovarian cancer, which, once developed, will greatly increase the chances of survival and ultimately save the lives of women around the world.

With ovarian cancer, there is no early detection test. There is no cure.
