Martin Memorial will celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day with an event on June 5 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Robert and Carol Weissman Cancer Center.
Cancer survivors, their families and friends are invited to the 10th-annual event at Martin Memorial, where they can share inspirational stories, enjoy lunch and hear musical entertainment. This year’s event will have a ’50s Sock Hop theme, with entertainment by Pat and Gigi of the Jukebox Band. There will also be a contest for the individual best-dressed in ’50s attire.
The Robert and Carol Weissman Cancer Center is located at 501 E. Osceola Street in Stuart. The event will be held in the resource library on the second floor of the cancer center. Space is limited, so please RSVP for the celebration by calling (772) 223-5945, ext. 3736. Event parking is available in the garage next to the cancer center.
Now in its 22nd year, National Cancer Survivors Day is a world-wide celebration of those who have fought cancer. A survivor is considered anyone living with a history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life. The National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation estimates there are approximately 12 million Americans who fit that description.
