The Southeast Cancer Walk has been rescheduled after organizers decided to postpone the event due to the ongoing wildfires and smoky conditions in the area.
Originally scheduled for Friday, April 24, the event will now be held Friday, May 29.
Plans for the rescheduled event remain the same.
The Southeast Cancer Walk will be held at the Tiger Field Walking Track off College Avenue behind the Pierce County Library and the Pierce County Board of Education. Activities will begin at 6 p.m.
The walk has been 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 Counties together for food, fun and fellowship, while they also raise money for a good cause.
The Southeast Cancer Unit, Inc. is a community-driven non-profit organization whose purpose is 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 powered by the generosity of volunteers. No funds are used for salaries, ensuring every contribution goes directly toward making a lasting impact.
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, gas gift cards and similar expenses.
