Light and Legacy Cancer Awareness Fundraiser

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
