The Cancer Support Center Hosts Survivors Block Party A Community Event Celebrating Cancer Survivors

The Cancer Support Center is hosting the Survivor’s Block Party on Sunday, June 5, 2016, at its Homewood location, 2028 Elm Road, Homewood, Ill., where over 300 cancer survivors, and their family members and caregivers will celebrate National Cancer Survivors Month. This community-wide, free event will feature family-friendly activities, music and survivorship festivities.

“For those living with cancer, everyday is a victory,” said Sue Armato, Executive Director. “Surviving cancer is more than just living. It’s an attitude about life and living each day to the fullest. Join us as we celebrate the inspirational cancer survivors who make-up our wonderful community.”

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. Join The Cancer Support Center in celebrating those in the Chicago Southland communities living with cancer.
