Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Cancer struggles can bring about powerful emotions, and patients convey their feelings in varied, personal ways. The Markey Survivorship Celebration Event is designed as a showcase for those feelings, a celebration of both human creativity and the human spirit. Please note that this occasion is for all survivors. You need not contribute art to participate. Members of the Healthy Living Panel are also available to further enhance the recovery process. June is Cancer Survivorship Month and thus a good time for this annual gathering.
Dress is casual and comfortable.
This event will be held rain-or-shine. If it rains, umbrellas will be available for attendees and the event may move inside the Combs atrium, adjacent to the College of Dentistry courtyard.
