The Vance County Cancer Survivor Dinner scheduled to take place Friday, April 17, 2020, at South Henderson Pentecostal Holiness Church has been CANCELED for this year.

We know cancer patients are among those at high risk of serious illness from infection because their immune systems are sometimes weakened by cancer treatments.  We want to be as careful as we can on behalf of our patients, our volunteers, and the community at large during these uncertain times.

We are taking the coronavirus (COVID-19) very seriously and your health and safety are important to us. Due to the uncertainty of this situation, the duration of required restrictions and other associated mandates with COVID-19, we are unable to reschedule the event for this year.

We ask that you still register for the Relay for Life of Vance County event, which will be rescheduled for later this fall.  Your registration will enable us to order you a shirt that you will be able to pick up at the RFL event this fall.

Survivors, caregivers and walkers are welcome to register for Relay For Life online at www.RelayForLife.org/VanceNC or by calling 1-800-227-2345 (choose option #2 from the menu).

Thank you for your understanding. Please reach out to Hope Breedlove at (252) 436-1605 with any questions or concerns.
