Ovarian Cancer Socks is an annual fundraiser selling a limited edition boxed sock set (three pairs of luxuriously soft bamboo cotton socks) with 100% of all net proceeds funding much needed cancer research into an early detection test and better treatments in the hopes of increasing the very low survival rates for patients.

Ovarian Cancer Socks was created and launched by the team at Digga Australia, a leading Australian manufacturer of earthmoving equipment.

But why would Digga be selling socks to raise money for ovarian cancer research?

Sadly, Digga lost their CEO and Managing Director, Suzie Wright, in 2018 after a short battle with ovarian cancer. At the age of 48, having taken over the helm of Digga Australia and achieved a multitude of gains for the company, Suzie was diagnosed and passed away only 15 months later. She was only 49 years of age. Suzie left an indelible mark not only on the company but on the lives she touched. Her courage and determination inspired all. (Read more)

If ovarian cancer research was not so critically underfunded more women like Suzie would survive an ovarian cancer diagnosis. There’s a desperate need for an early detection test and better treatments so that one day survival rates are in the high 90 percentiles like breast and prostate cancers which have benefited from incredible awareness and funding.

To date, Digga has raised over $400,000 for ovarian cancer research and has launched Ovarian Cancer Socks this year in the hopes of bringing greater support and awareness to the cause for years to come.

The need is urgent. The time is now. Its ovarian cancer’s turn for better research funding.

100% of the net proceeds will go to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF), Australia's leading independent body dedicated to ovarian cancer research. Costs incurred to design the sock, marketing material, paid marketing, website as well as managing the campaign is donated by Digga. Digga staff will donate their time to pack and ship sock orders. Net proceeds equals the retail price less the landed cost of the sock set and freight.
