“Since The Center was founded to serve local residents affected by cancer, it is fitting we showcase neighboring residences to raise awareness for services in Homewood and Mokena offered to anyone, free of charge,” said Bridget Van Eekeren, co-chair of this year’s event. “Each of these families has a special reason for being part of this Holiday House Walk. Some have family members and friends affected by cancer; some, themselves, are survivors. Each is moved by the mission of The Cancer Support Center to provide FREE comprehensive resources that help people improve their quality of life during the cancer experience.”

House Walk tickets are $25 per person and provide admittance to all four homes. Luncheon tickets can be added for an additional $25 per person, and must be pre-purchased. Tickets for the Preview Party on Friday night, November 21, are $60 per person, and include: an exclusive preview of the House Walk homes on Friday night, heavy hors d’oeuvres and open bar.
