Community Events

Opening Ceremony:
We'll kick off the event by celebrating everyone who's been affected by cancer. Whether someone has been diagnosed for 10 days or been cancer-free for 10 years, they gather together for the crowd to cheer them on.

Survivor's Lap:
Survivors define courage and inspire those facing a cancer diagnosis. Their strength is honored with each step they take around the first lap. If you know anyone who has overcome cancer, invite them to join.

Caregivers Lap:
Caring for others is such a selfless act, which is why we honor caregivers with a lap. They often walk with the person they supported.

Luminaria Ceremony:
Each Luminaria bag represents a loved one lost to cancer, bring support to those affected by it, and honor survivors. This powerful moment gives people the opportunity to grieve but also offers hope and comfort.

Closing Ceremony:
We celebrate all that we've accomplished together and remember those we lost. Together, we commit to take action and help end the pain and suffering of cancer
