The Celebration Includes a Trail of Hope with Tiki Torches to Inspire Others
Gilda’s Club Evansville is hosting Tri-State Survivor Day on Sunday, June 4, 2017 at the Eykamp Scout Center, located at 3501 E. Lloyd Expressway, Evansville from 1:00-4:00pm. The celebration of hope is for all cancer survivors in the tri-state area and their tribes, meaning their family and friends who support them.
If cancer has knocked on your door, you know how important it is to have a ‘tribe’ of loved ones that walk with you every step of your journey. This event will celebrate survivors and all those that support them with an afternoon of Survivor themed activities, mega prizes and more.
“Survivors and their loved ones inspire us every say with their courage and their strength,†Melanie Atwood, Executive Director, exclaimed. “June 4 will be a day to celebrate them and surround them with a community of support.â€
The celebration will include a trail of hope, which will have tiki torches lining the way to inspire others. Tiki torches are available for purchase for $20, and the torch will include the cancer survivor’s first name, type of cancer and years since diagnosis. The tiki torch is yours to keep after the event. Deadline to reserve a tiki torch is May 19th, and you can do so by contacting the Gilda’s Club at 812-402-8667 or angie@gcevv.org. Survivor themed t-shirts are also available for purchase at www.sellmytees.com/gildasclub, but these too must be ordered by May 19th to have them available for the celebration.
