NEW EVENT TO HONOR PEOPLE AFFECTED BY ALL CANCERS

On April 6, 2019 Friedman Park in Newburgh will come alive with a celebration and race to support Chemo Buddies.

HOPEFEST and the HOPE RUN 5K is a day for our community to come together and celebrate everyone affected by all cancers. The daylong event is intended to bring hope to cancer survivors, patients and all of the people who provide care and support for cancer survivors.

Activities include a Survivor’s Parade, Live Music, Food Trucks, a large children’s play area, an online silent auction, a one mile walk/run sponsored by Student Buddies, and a timed 5K Hope Race!

Chemo Buddies is also hosting a Vendor Village with all kinds of products and crafts for sale.

There are more than 100 identified cancers, each with its own colored ribbon. Lavender is the ribbon color for all cancers.

Chemo Buddies is a local 501 c 3 with volunteers serving patients in all of the Evansville, Henderson, and Newburgh chemo infusion centers. Chemo Buddies interact with over 200 patients each day in our community.

Proceeds from HOPEFEST will support Chemo Buddies, a local non profit.
