LAKEPORT, Calif. – Join Sponsoring Survivorship in celebrating 20 years of serving Lake County and supporting local residents with breast cancer at its annual walk/run on Saturday, Oct. 1.

The fundraiser event will take place at Bank of America in Main Street in Lakeport beginning at 8:30 a.m., rain or shine.

Each year Sponsoring Survivorship's efforts have proven that we can all contribute to the battle against breast cancer.

For the past 20 years, Sponsoring Survivorship, has assisted local women and men with some of the costs associated with their struggle against breast cancer.

The cancer journey is sometimes lonely and frustrating. It also can be an opportunity for friendship, support, personal growth, humor and fulfillment.

The quality of our lives and our struggles can be defined by those who we see as our friends and to whom we offer our friendship and our support.

Sponsoring Survivorship is proud to call Lake County home and is grateful for its network of volunteers who support its mission.
