Welcome
The Ocala Royal Dames for Cancer Research, Inc., has donated to cancer research and education projects in the North Central Florida region since 1987. To date, over $1,800,000 has been given for these causes. We fund cancer research at UF Shands Cancer Center in Gainesville and H Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. In Ocala, the Dames donate to Central Florida Community College for cancer education through library materials and scholarships. Also at CFCC, an outreach breast cancer awareness and detection program named Shop Talk is funded by the ORD. Additionally, oncology nursing continuing education is made possible through ORD funding. Outright donations to Ocala Royal Dames for Cancer Research, Inc. are most welcome, as are sponsorships of fundraisers such as the Tiara Ball, Fashion Show, Western Party and Cookbooks.
