At the 3rd annual Tea for Teal, ARM is looking to nominate an outstanding ovarian cancer crusader. The 2011 Anne Rita Monahan Crusader Award will recognize a cancer crusader who has made contributions for cancer awareness and has displayed determination and perseverance in their journey. In order to win, the nominee must be present at Tea for Teal but does not have to be a person with ovarian cancer. The award can go to a relative or friend who has a special journey or experience and that continues to be a crusader for ovarian cancer.

In addition to a $500.00 donation, the Soroptimist International of the Kachinas Club in Glendale, Arizona honored Anne Rita Monhan with the Renie Branham Woman of Courage Award on May 18, 2010.

This annual award pays tribute to a woman who is, or has been, an active member of our community, and:

- demonstrated remarkable acts of courage when confronted with adversity – either personal or in connection with others;

- served as a role model to her family, friends, co-workers or community-at-large by her selfless fortitude in striving to overcome the challenges thrust upon her;

- made a difference in the lives of others, especially women and girls, by her steadfast commitment to all facets of her regular daily routine while continuing to battle obstacles and difficulties; and,

- acted as a beacon of light to those who experienced the privilege of being touched, inspired and/or enriched by this valiant Woman of Courage.

“Something happens to us when we witness someone’s courage. They may not know we’re watching but something happens to us that will last a lifetime. It fills us when we’re empty and rocks us when we’re low; it gives us hope and strength to begin anew.” - Renie Branham Woman of Courage Award Inscription
