Help Ginger Reinhardt & Arron Ort fight cancer
Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family,
We’re reaching out on behalf of Ginger Reinhardt, who is bravely battling Stage III ovarian cancer. After undergoing testing and two separate surgeries to remove reproductive organs and tissues, biopsy results confirmed the presence of cancer.
Because Ginger had no obvious physical symptoms and the surgeries were intended to be preventative, it was a devastating shock to learn that cancer was already present and spreading.
Ginger is currently under the care of an excellent medical team. Her treatment plan includes chemotherapy, with the possibility of additional surgeries and other interventions in the months and years to come. While her condition is serious and the road ahead is challenging, we believe she can overcome this, especially with our help.
Why Ginger Needs Your Support
During treatment, Ginger’s energy and activity levels will be greatly diminished, making it impossible for her to keep up with the usual demands of work and motherhood.
At the same time that Ginger is undergoing treatment, her husband, Arron Ort, is beginning a new position at a school for children with learning differences. While this new role is a wonderful opportunity for their family, the timing of the move and the complexities of relocation add an extra layer of logistical, emotional, and financial strain.
Our hope is simply to ease some of the financial strain during treatment, so that Ginger can focus on healing and their family can navigate this transition with greater peace of mind. Every gift, of any kind, is deeply appreciated.
How You Can Help
The GoFundMe platform forces organizers to indicate a fundraising goal, so we took their recommendation as a starting point; however, it is very important to Ginger and Arron that nobody feels any pressure to contribute. We are using this platform as a way to share updates and provide an easy method for anybody that wants to help.
The dollars raised will help cover medical treatments and essential living expenses over the next year. If you’re unable to contribute financially, simply sharing this campaign is incredibly impactful.
- Donate – No amount is too small. Every dollar directly helps Ginger and Arron cover medical and living expenses.
- Share – Please spread the word by sharing this campaign with your network. You never know who may be moved to help. Additionally, because of her own experience with this sudden surprise discovery, Ginger is passionate about using this as an opportunity to encourage everyone to make preventive care a priority. Do it for yourself and your loved ones! Share this story to spread Ginger’s message about the importance of preventive care.
- Send love & encouragement – Your kind words and positive thoughts truly make a difference. Let Ginger and her family know you’re thinking of them.

Love & Gratitude
If you’ve met Ginger even once, you know she is vibrant, generous, and full of life. She lights up every room with her warmth and her voice. As a mentor and teacher, she has nurtured talent and built confidence in countless young vocalists, performers, and musicians. Ginger brings humor, joy, and love to everyone she meets.
She has done so much for so many—now it’s our turn to rally around her and her wonderful family with the love and support they need.
Ginger and Arron want to relay how fortunate they feel to have such a caring and compassionate network of friends and family, and they do not take this for granted. Thank you, from the bottom of their hearts and ours, for your generosity and kindness.
With much gratitude,
Friends of Ginger & Arron
