Light Up the Pond

Every family has been affected by cancer in an array of ways. I have been a caregiver and cancer patient. I have experienced loss, heartbreak, and pain. I have experienced healing and recovery. We lost our precious Mike in 2018 to Thymus thymona cancer. I was diagnosed almost exactly a year later in  2019 with breast cancer. God's gift to us is our children, Ellie and Joseph. They have been brave and courageous.
The American Cancer Society offers resources for patients, families, and caregiviers as they navigate daily life with a cancer diagnosis. It can be overwhelming and difficult. Doctors and scientists are working diligently to find a sure and have access to research funding through ACS. Each luminary and bracelet purchased will help house a patient in the Hope Lodge, give a ride to a patient going to treatment , pay for medication, and fund the research to put a stop to cancer. 
Purchase a lumninary or  bracelet to support our team. Join us for a walk or drive thru on Saturday, November 9th from 7:00-8:00 pm at 3204 Mineral Springs Rd.

How Fundraising Impacts Your Community

Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.

Since 1991 we have invested $3.43 billion in cancer research.

We have received over 360,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2023.

Cancer patients benefited from the ACS transportation support through our Road To Recovery program and transportation grants in 2023, with nearly 769,000 rides provided.

Our Sponsors

Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.

Cancer has touched all of us in some way. And we want to stop this disease in its tracks. We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society. Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.  

Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
