Rays of Hope Survivors’ Day

Join us for an uplifting and inspiring event dedicated to our survivors.

This Survivors’ Day is all about connection and creating a space where survivors’, caregivers and supporters can come together to share and celebrate their own cancer journeys. We are excited to welcome local author and breast cancer survivor, Leslie Lawrence, who will share her powerful story of resilience and hope. Her debut memoir, I’m a lucky woman: A Photographic Memoir of a Breast Cancer Survivor, reveals a compelling portrait of one woman’s triumphant cancer journey.

Discover valuable resources from our community partners, take part in our expressive writing workshop led by Camille St. Onge, LICSW, and meet other survivors who understand the struggles and milestones of a cancer diagnosis. A ticket also includes dinner and drinks, an opportunity to shop the Rays of Hope summer merchandise collection and explore a carefully curated book selection of mindful reads at the Rumspringa Books Pop-Up. All are welcome; a pre-purchased ticket is required for entry.
