FORT WAYNE – Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana will hold Ribbon Walk on May 3. The fundraising walk is an opportunity for the community to support local families affected by cancer.
Community members are invited to form a team and ask their friends and family to support the mission of Cancer Services alongside them. Cancer Services encourages participants to fundraise in honor or memory of someone in their life who has been impacted by cancer.
A cancer diagnosis is often unexpected and life-altering, adding layers of stress and worry that impact all family members, according to a news release from Cancer Services. Last year, Cancer Services helped over 5,000 families so they did not face cancer alone. Anyone who gives to Ribbon Walk is ensuring these families and more receive compassionate help during a difficult time. Together, we can reach the $175,000 fundraising goal, the release states.
Ribbon Walk is also a celebration of this community’s strong support for families impacted by cancer. The family-friendly event will feature food, entertainment, remembrance activities and a mile-long walk along the walking path of Brotherhood Mutual.
