Last month, Ovarcome celebrated its fourth year of supporting women during their fight against ovarian cancer with an "Ovar the Moon: Great Gatsby!" gala. More than 250 Houstonians rallied at Hotel Sorella to toast honorees Lynnsey Tirey, Deborah Garcia, Tonya Childress, Angelisa Hood, and Pat Ferreira.

The dapper crowd, dressed as flappers and dandies, also applauded guest of honor Dr. Margaret Foti, CEO of American Association of Cancer Research, who received the 2016 Ovarcome Excellence Award.

Former KTRK-13 anchor Sharron Melton presided over the program which highlighted the strength and determination of Houston's "Teal Warriors." The jewel tone shade is the official hue of ovarian cancer awareness.

The 1920s soiree raised $100,000 toward the foundation's mission to fund research and provide financial support for those battling the deadliest gynecological disease.
