Laura Crandall Brown Foundation

In 2009, Laura Crandall Brown passed away at the age of 25 from ovarian cancer. Her loving and courageous spirit inspired friends and family to create the Laura Crandall Brown Foundation (LCBF) to honor her life, memory, and vision of helping others. At that time, the foundation's mission was to provide funding for early detection research of ovarian cancer and to raise awareness. Today, LCBF has three full-time staff members working across the state of Alabama to fulfill its threefold mission: offering hope through early detection research of ovarian cancer, empowering communities through gynecologic cancer awareness, and enriching lives through patient support.

With LCBF, emotionally struggling GYN Cancer Patients, Caregivers and their Families find hope and support through CanSurvive group and patients are connected to an understanding survivor with the Woman-to-Woman mentoring program. Underserved GYN Cancer patients have their financial burdens reduced through direct patient support and all newly diagnosed patients receive hope and support with a Comfort Care Bag.
