Kimberly Airhart is a two-time ovarian cancer survivor, devoted wife to her husband, mother of five bright kids,  and the driving force behind the nonprofit Harts of Teal. Since her first diagnosis in 2020, she has courageously faced personal health challenges and used them as fuel to launch a powerful community movement.

Under her leadership, Harts of Teal has raised awareness about ovarian and other gynecological cancers, and increased support and understanding for those who are surviving ovarian cancer. Kimberly has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, distributed thousands of educational “Teal for Teachers” lunch totes locally and across the country, and established ongoing support groups and hospital outreach. Kimberly’s tireless advocacy has touched countless lives through education, emotional support, and hope.

Kimberly embodies resilience, compassion, and leadership—continuing her mission even while undergoing treatment. Her efforts have raised awareness, saved lives, and inspired a community to rally around women’s health. She is truly a beacon of courage and community impact. And she does it all with a signature smile and warmth that her friends, family and associates all love and appreciate.
