Relay for Life Yuma hosts Cancer Survivor and Caregivers Dinner
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Relay for Life of Yuma County hosted a dinner in honor of cancer survivors and caregivers Sunday.
According to Relay for Life's Facebook post, "This is for cancer survivors and their loved ones to come together and commemorate their journey."
The dinner, coinciding with National Cancer Survivors Day, started at 4:00pm and took place at the Pivot Point Conference Center.
This was also a big moment for Relay for Life Yuma as they concluded their 2022-23 fundraising season.
"This is kind of a culmination of our relay for life year. We had our event back in March around the track. We walked all night because cancer never sleeps, and tonight, we're really celebrating the end of our season, wrapping up our fundraising for the year, and just a celebration with all of our survivors that may or may not have been able to be out on the track with us in March," Amber Thornton, Event Lead for Relay for Life Yuma.
In addition to serving food, there will also be a photo booth, a silent auction, and door prizes.
The dinner went on until 7:00pm and Relay for Life Yuma will be back for the 2023-24 season on September 1.
