The Southeast Cancer Unit’s annual fundraising event, the Cancer Walk, will be revived next spring.
Brenda Waters and Janice Brown, directors of the unit, said plans are for the Cancer Walk to return April 24, 2026.
The event will be held at the Blackshear walking track off of College Avenue, and behind Tiger Field, the Pierce County Library and the Pierce County Board of Education.
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 that every contribution goes directly toward making a lasting impact.
The cancer unit offers assistant 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.
