Genesys hosts Reunion with a Cause for cancer patients

(GENESEE COUNTY, MI) Genesys Health Foundation sponsors Reunion with a Cause, an annual walk and celebration that raises funds for Genesys cancer patients.
Date of this year's event is Friday, Aug. 8, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., on the track of Holly High School, located at 6161 E. Holly Road. The evening starts with a celebration walk with all cancer survivors, "symbolizing hope for others who are victims of this disease," reports Nick Evans, vice president of Genesys Health Foundation.

In addition to the walk, Reunion with a Cause includes an evening filled with family activities, a candle lighting ceremony, music and refreshments. Those participating are encouraged to collect donations.

Last year, Reunion with a Cause yielded more than $53,000 for Genesys cancer patients - a record-breaking amount! These funds were used to help cancer patients pay for medication, medical equipment, rental equipment such as wheelchairs, private pay aides, transportation to and from cancer treatments, and other special needs not covered by health insurance.

"This is a fun-filled night to celebrate and commemorate those whose lives have been touched by cancer, and to raise money to help these people obtain the services and care they need but cannot afford," Evans points out. "Everyone in the community is invited to show their support by participating in Reunion with a Cause - by walking the track, by cheering for walkers, or by making a contribution of any amount."
