Walk for Cancer returns to Santa Margarita Ranch this October

Event aims to raise funds that will directly benefit local cancer patients

– The Cancer Support Community-CA Central Coast will host its 3rd Annual Walk for Cancer on Sunday, Oct. 20, at Oyster Ridge Barn at Santa Margarita Ranch, hosted by Ancient Peaks Winery. This event will bring the community together to form teams and walk in support of local cancer patients, survivors, and thrivers.

Participants will take part in a 2-mile walk through Santa Margarita Ranch. All proceeds from the event will benefit local cancer patients and their families, providing crucial support as they navigate the emotional and social challenges of a cancer diagnosis.

“Our Walk for Cancer is more than just an event; it’s a testament to the strength and solidarity of our community,” said executive director of the Cancer Support Community Candice Galli, “Every step we take and every dollar we raise directly contributes to the care and support that our local cancer patients need. We are thrilled to witness the growth of this event each year and deeply appreciate the community’s continued support.”

Registration for the 3rd Annual Walk for Cancer is now open on the Cancer Support Community’s website. The participation fee is $30, and people are encouraged to make a fundraising pledge of $100. The pledge includes tacos and wine after the walk. Participants are encouraged to gather friends, create teams, and show support by dressing in pink.

The Cancer Support Community is dedicated to empowering individuals impacted by cancer through comprehensive support, fostering compassionate communities, and removing barriers to care. The organization offers a wide range of free programs and services that enhance the quality of life for cancer patients, survivors, and their loved ones in the local community.
