Elizabeth & Jennie
Founders of the annual BHTP Campaign

After the inaugural campaign in 2006, the BHTP concept quickly became a favorite among women who have an interest in helping increase awareness for ovarian cancer. A simple strategy is at the core of the campaign - “Many voices speaking in unison make for a louder message.” And Blue Hydrangea Tea Party™ is growing ovarian cancer awareness one tea party at a time. Jennie says, “We feel that the BHTP campaign is a great way to reach groups of women across the country, at the same time, by using the target date of the Saturday before Mothers’ Day. And, each year there is the opportunity to raise awareness exponentially. This campaign takes all of our individual voices, combines them, and continually adds voices, so that the message gets louder and louder!” Indeed, with its catch phrases, “Help bring women into the circle of awareness” and “Let’s stir up the chatter on ovarian cancer awareness,” Blue Hydrangea Tea Party™ continues on its mission to help spread the ovarian cancer awareness message. Elizabeth says, “I hope women everywhere will get involved with the BHTP campaign!”

Blue Hydrangea Tea Party™ has no outside representatives and is under the sole direction of its founders. The campaign is made up of volunteer hostesses and non-profit organizations that may participate in the BHTP campaign to raise funds for their individual agencies. All of the needs of the campaign are privately funded. Hostesses are asked not to misuse the BHTP name and concept to generate personal income.
