The Cancer Support Center's Survivors Block Party

The Cancer Support Center is hosting a survivor’s block party on Saturday, June 7, 2014 to commemorate National Cancer Survivors Month and to celebrate The Center providing programs and services for the past 20 year, and you’re invited.

The month of June marks National Cancer Survivors Month. Thousands of people in hundreds of communities across the U.S. and abroad will hold celebrations throughout the month of June to honor cancer survivors and to show that there is life after a cancer diagnosis – and it’s something to celebrate.

"Come celebrate survivorship and The Center’s 20th anniversary. Surviving
cancer is more than just living. It’s an attitude about life and living each day to the fullest,” said Sue Armato, Executive Director of The Cancer Support Center.
 
“You will find our community event filled with joy, camaraderie, hope, compassion, faith, and love as we honor cancer survivors for their strength and courage.”

The Center we will celebrate with an interactive survivors visual monument, honoring The Center’s original founders, live music entertainment,
kid-friendly crafts, local food vendors and more.

Anyone living with a history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life, is a cancer survivor, according to the National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation. Nearly 14 million Americans are now living with and beyond a diagnosis of cancer. Learning about this disease is crucial, because many forms of cancer can be prevented and most cured if detected early.

“Despite these challenges, cancer survivors live full, productive lives and serve as an inspiration to all of us,” said Allison Smith, Marketing and
Communication Coordinator of The Cancer Support Center.
