The Betty Allen Ovarian Cancer Foundation was founded on February 14, 2011 in honor of my mother Betty Allen, a 10-year survivor of ovarian cancer. After I witnessed my mother’s courageous battle, I knew I had to do something to help raise awareness.
Our foundation is very concerned that most women lack the knowledge about the symptoms and risk factors of the five gynecologic cancers, and believe that their yearly Pap smear detects all gynecologic cancers. The Pap test only detects cervical cancer.
In May 2016, our board members reorganized the foundation to focus on all the gynecologic cancers in support of YOU! The foundation is now known as the Betty Allen Gynecologic Cancer Foundation.
If I were to ask you to name the gynecologic cancers, could you?
Do you know their symptoms?
We believe Knowledge is Power. Please explore our website and share it with your family and friends.
Your survival is our mission. Make it yours too!

About Earn to Learn FL™, an initiative of the Southwest Florida Women’s Foundation
Earn to Learn FL™ supports low to moderate income students in earning a post-secondary degree or certificate, while escaping the burden of student loan debt. The program is structured so that students contribute mandatory savings of $500, which is then matched with $4,000 in financial aid funds through Southwest Florida Women’s Foundation. The program incorporates financial literacy training for each of the students to ensure that they are prepared for long-term success. Not only does it assist students to achieve graduation on time, but also helps them enter the job market with little or no student loans.
https://earntolearnfl.org/What we do
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are brought into one of our foster homes, where they are lovingly
made part of the family, however briefly. Our foster families have Cavaliers, and love and understand
the breed. Foster parents learn and evaluate their behavior and habits. Are they good with kids? Do
they like long walks or ball play? House trained? Crate trained? Cuddle bug, licker or reserved?
Several veterinarians work with us and medically evaluate the dogs. Shots are brought up to date, conditions treated, teeth cleaned and spaying or neutering performed. If the dog is not microchipped,
we have that done. Then it becomes our task to find the right forever home for each dog.
Careful screening is done which includes personal references, vet references, an interview, and a home visit.
There is a donation suggested, varying according to age and health. The day arrives when the Cavalier goes to his or her furever home. They sniff. They explore. They lick. They find their place on the couch, on a lap and they smile.
With the help of our dedicated volunteers and our wonderful adoptive families, we have placed over 500 Cavaliers in their forever homes.
