Sunday, June 2, marks the 37th annual National Cancer Survivors Day, when thousands of people in hundreds of communities across the globe hold celebrations to honor cancer survivors and to raise awareness of the challenges of cancer survivorship.

It is an opportunity for all people living with a history of cancer — including America’s more than 16.9 million cancer survivors — to connect with each other, celebrate milestones, and recognize those who have supported them along the way. It is also a day to remember those lost to cancer.

The Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine is set to host a free event in recognition of National Cancer Survivors Day from 2-4 p.m. Sunday, June 2, at King’s Hill Inn & Barn, 56 King’s Hill Road in South Paris. There will be food catered by Blue Elephant Caterers; non-alcoholic beverages courtesy of Sips & Saddles and Stephens Memorial Hospital; and live music from the Maine musical group Just-Because.

Call the Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine at 207-890-0329 or email info@crcofwm.org to reserve a spot before May 30.
