Annual Cancer Survivors Dinner Aug. 12

COMMUNITY News:

The Annual Cancer Survivor Dinner has been slated for 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12 at Cottonwood On The Greens.

All cancer survivors are invited to attend with a guest. The dinner is being hosted by the American Cancer Society Los Alamos Relay for Life and Los Alamos Medical Center.

The purpose of the dinner is to honor and celebrate those who have fought cancer or are fighting cancer as well as one caregiver or member of their support system. There is no cost for tickets but those who plan to attend should register in advance. All information on those attending will be kept confidential.

In the past, the survivor dinner has been held on the same night as the Los Alamos Relay for Life walk, however this year, organizers Rachal Allen and Tonya Sprouse-Mullins have opted to schedule it on a separate weekend so that attendees will have more time to relax and spend time with each other. Entertainment for the event will be provided by Paradox.Jazz.

Los Alamos Medical Center CEO John Whiteside said LAMC is honored to sponsor and be an active participant in Relay for Life this year.

“This is such a powerful cause and I encourage everyone to give and or come out and join in the celebration,” he said.

​The Los Alamos Relay for Life is Saturday, Sept. 30 and includes a 5k run.

If you are a survivor or know a survivor who would like to attend the dinner, call Rachal Allen, 505.709.8618 or Tonya Sprouse-Mullins, 505.629.7817 or email relayforlifelosalamos2017@gmail.com.
