2009 Special Guests

There are many issues and needs facing the cancer patient during the time of diagnosis and treatment: innovative medical treatment, support and education, advocacy, public awareness, kindness and caring. It takes a combination of many people working together to fulfill the non-medical needs that arise during the cancer experience. For this reason, we feel privleged to host this heartfelt evening honoring outstanding individuals in our community who have made contributions to the health and wellness of cancer survivors and their families.
