Light and Legacy Cancer Awareness Fundraiser
Each LIVESTRONG at the YMCA cohort includes six survivors and costs over $3,000 to run. Thanks to grants, gifts, and donations, we’re able to offer this life-changing program at no cost to participants — and with your help, we can keep it that way. Being able to serve this community reminds us daily of the power of compassion, connection, and shared strength.
On September 6th from 5-6pm, we are hosting a “Light and Legacy” Walk, featuring a walk through luminaries to celebrate the strength of our survivors and remember the legacy of those who have passed. Be a Trail Blazer and walk 5,600 steps with us for the 5,600 new cancer cases each day.
We are offering the opportunity to see your loved one’s “name in light” by purchasing a Gift of Light luminary or a Sign of Strength.
Additionally we are selling raffle tickets for prizes gifted from the local community. Enjoy food trucks, vendor tables, and music as we support our community.
Please contact Kate Branson with any questions. [email protected] | (864) 335-7205
Donation
If you’re unable to participate in our upcoming fundraising event—or prefer to support without purchasing a luminary or tickets—you can still contribute. Your donation goes directly to our Livestrong at YMCA cancer support programs, helping more cancer survivors reclaim their health, strength, and confidence. Every gift moves a survivor forward on their journey. Choose from an option below or customize your donation here.

Luminaries
See your loved one’s ‘name in light’ when you purchase a luminary for the Light of Legacy walk. A luminary memorializes your loved one while inspiring others through their own journey.
