This new license plate will promote awareness of Ovarian Cancer in Colorado. This petition is for Colorado resident motor vehicle owners only, asking Colorado to add an Ovarian Cancer Awareness license plate to the list of current specialty plates available

Why should people sign?

Every 23 minutes a woman is diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

With more national awareness will come more money for research, and research saves lives. There are over 200,000 women world-wide diagnosed every year with Ovarian Cancer. Ovarian cancer accounts for about 20,000 new cancer diagnosis every year in the US, and is the most lethal of gynecologic cancers.

Supporting this effort and getting an ovarian cancer awareness license plate would mean a lot to the families, supporters, survivors and current cancer patients because it raises awareness and lets them know there is a whole community of people who care.

Breast Cancer has decreased roughly 36% over the last 40 years with the amount of awareness it has received and the national spotlight it has been given. Just imagine the impact that same treatment could have for Ovarian Cancer.

Awareness is the essential key to saving lives and its time we get involved! Sign this petition to get the attention of the Colorado Legislature and to support Ovarian Cancer Awareness!

By signing this petition, you can assist in stopping this trend. Often called “the silent killer,” ovarian cancer frequently goes unnoticed until it’s too late

With your help, this cause may become more visible than ever. We need your help to bring a bill for this plate to the Colorado legislature for a vote during the upcoming session. It will remain available as long as we continue to distribute a minimum of 3,000 annually.

Please join us in supporting the creation of a Colorado Ovarian Cancer License Plate, an effort which could put the trademark teal ribbon on the tails of cars across the state.

Now it is our turn, to continue in the fight for all who have fought, for those who are currently fighting and for all those who will fight against this horrible disease.

WE WILL NOT SHARE THIS INFORMATION EXCEPT TO THE COLORADO STATE LEGISLATURE FOR APPROVAL.

FOR YOUR PETITION TO BE VALID, YOU MUST:

1) LIVE IN COLORADO AND BE A COLORADO MOTOR VEHICLE OWNER

2) COMPLETE ALL INFORMATION REQUESTED (full name, full residence address, including county of residence, emai)

3) COMMIT TO BUYING THE LICENSE PLATE WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE

FOR YOUR PETITION SIGNATURE TO BE VALID YOU MUST LIVE IN COLORADO AND INCLUDE THE INFORMATION REQUESTED.

*NOTE: After you click the "Sign!" button, you may be presented with a donation page from iPetitions, the service that is hosting our petition. Please be aware this is optional and completely unrelated to any Ovarian Cancer Organizations. Should you elect to make the donation, 100% of your money goes to iPetitions.

The silent killer takes way too many women. If a little plate helps even one person catch it early its worth it.

Lost my sister to this years ago. About time we gave it the same attention as other cancers. Bring on the plates.

Anything to help research. My aunt fought hard and we need a cure so no more families have to go through that pain.

My mom is a survivor. We need to get the word out because so many people dont even know the symptoms. Teal plates would be amazing to see on the road.
