Cancer Navigators’ Annual Daisy Drop Scheduled for April 27
Cancer Navigators’ annual Daisy Drop will take place on Sunday, April 27 at 3 p.m. This year, participants will meet at the Heritage Park Pavilion and walk to the Chief John Ross Memorial Bridge at the Town Green led by Sunshine Bitner, a cancer survivor and Cancer Navigators board member.
The Daisy Drop is a free community event and Cancer Navigators staff will be onsite handing out complimentary daisies that attendees can drop into the river to pay tribute to loved ones affected by cancer.
“The Daisy Drop started over a decade ago and has become a Cancer Navigators tradition and an important way for us to honor our patients and all who have been impacted by cancer,” said Jonna Duke, Cancer Navigators Office & Outreach Coordinator. “We are grateful for our sponsors who enable us to continue to host this special event.”
