What’s better on an early summer day than a little ice cream?
The Morrison Cancer Center wraps up May with a Cancer Survivor Ice Cream Social. The event takes place in the Perkins-Spady Recuperative Gardens outside of the MCC (inside in case of rain) from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday, May 30. Survivors will receive an invitation to bring one guest for free ice cream provided by Special Scoops. Members of the public also may attend the event and purchase ice cream.
David Jones, Morrison Cancer Center Director, said the event is just one of many places people will see MCC representatives in the community this summer.
“We want to recognize our patients for all they have been through,” Jones said. “Plus, we want to thank area residents for all they do to support MCC and our patients.”
In June, a Cancer Walk & Butterfly Release, sponsored by the Mary Lanning Healthcare Foundation, MCC and the GRACE Cancer Foundation, will benefit MCC and its programs. The walk begins at 5:30 p.m. on June 20 at the Hastings College Lynn Farrell Arena parking lot. The fee is $25 per walker or free for cancer survivors.
Participants who register by May 30 will be guaranteed a butterfly and t-shirt. Register at www.marylanning.org/our-foundation/
