PROCLAMATION: September as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 
 
Staff Summary (background) 
September 2026 is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona. 
Recognizing that ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death among 
women—with no reliable early detection test and most cases diagnosed in late stages—the 
Town joins survivors, families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals in raising awareness, 
promoting education, and fostering hope for earlier diagnoses, improved treatments, and a 
cure. The Great Fountain will be lit teal, and all residents are encouraged to participate in 
awareness activities, wear teal, and engage in conversations that help save lives and support 
those affected. Mayor Friedel will proclaim the month of September as Ovarian Cancer 
Awareness Month.
