This February will be the 15th Annual Sexual and Reproductive Health celebration as established by the Public Health Agency of Canada. Opt invites you to celebrate Sexual and Reproductive Health by Hearting Your Parts with us on February 15th, 2018 at our annual Sexual Health Champion Fundraising Breakfast. Our incredible host for the morning is award winning journalist, Kathryn Gretsinger. With an exciting performance by The Lady Show.
Every year, Opt identifies a Sexual Health Champion worthy of recognition for outstanding contributions in sexual health. This year we are thrilled to honour Dr. Gina Ogilvie, Canada Research Chair in Global Control of HPV-related Disease at UBC, and Senior Advisor and Assistant Director of the Women’s Health Research Institute at BC Women's Hospital. Dr. Ogilvie feels she and her colleagues may be nearing a monumental breakthrough in women’s health – the global eradication of cervical cancer. We are inspired by Dr. Ogilvie's dedication to sexual and reproductive health and we know you will be too!
Delicious breakfast, enticing prizes, inspiring people and of course, an organization and cause that you are passionate about—what could be better? Buy your tickets today to join us on February 15th to celebrate Sexual and Reproductive Health 2018 and Heart Your Parts!
