Jim Crandall, president of the foundation, is excited about the partnership between the two groups, “The Birmingham Ballet has supported many fine organizations in years past and we are honored that they have chosen to partner with us. The Ballet has allowed us to expand our audience to bring awareness to many more women and their families in the Birmingham area. We hope this partnership will expand awareness with women of all ages about the subtle signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.”
