The Southeast Cancer Walk will be held this Friday, April 24.
The event is at the Tiger Field Walking Track off College Avenue and behind the Pierce County Library and the Pierce County Board of Education.
On hiatus since COVID hit in 2020, with the last one being held in 2019, the annual walk brings people from Pierce, Ware and Brantley together for food, fun and fellowship, while also raising money for a good cause.
The Southeast Cancer Unit, Inc. is a community- driven non-profit organization seeking to make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer in Brantley, Pierce and Ware counties. Every dollar raised stays in the tri-county area, providing vital support to local individuals and families battling cancer. The Southeast Cancer Unit organization is run by volunteers. No funds are used for salaries, ensuring every contribution goes directly toward helping others.
The cancer unit offers assistance to patients depending on availability and need. Funds can be used for medications, supplies, prosthesis, professional fees, nutritional supplements, durable medical equipment, wigs, gift cards for gas and similar expenses.
For more information, to register a team, or to donate, call (912) 452-7070 or write to P. O. Box 667, Blackshear, GA, 31516.
