Over 500 attended the 8th Annual Picnic for Cancer Survivors
Hundreds of cancer survivors and their families gathered on Sunday, June 6, 2010 for Columbia St. Mary’s Eighth Annual Cancer Survivors’ Picnic. This celebration of life is a chance for survivors and caregivers to re-connect and is the only event of its kind in Southeastern Wisconsin that takes place on the National Day of Recognition. The event is held each year at Heidelberg Park at the Bavarian Inn, 700 W. Lexington Blvd. in Glendale.

“Columbia St. Mary’s Cancer Centers believes it is important to provide cancer survivors and their families with the chance to get together and celebrate their lives and experiences,” said Margaret Allen, Columbia St. Mary’s oncology dietitian and lead picnic coordinator. “We are happy to provide this opportunity for our patients and staff.”
