Thank you everyone who attended the Luminaria ceremony! This was meaningful and powerful moments when we remembered and honored our loved ones, our warriors, our survivors. Your presence in the ceremony was not only with the desire to remember, but also the desire to bring hope to the day when we have conquered cancer.

Luminaria is a special ceremony in remembrance of those we've lost to cancer, in honor of those who won the cancer battle, and those who are still fighting cancer. This ceremony of light symbolizes the hope and perseverance with which we all continue to fight. Come and dedicate Luminaria bags for your loved ones, listen to guest survivor stories, poem readings, and walk a lap around our Luminarias to show our solidarity.
