This year the Lilac Bloomsday Association is pleased to be supporting the efforts of Cancer Patient Care, and we encourage you to do the same--when you sign up online, by purchasing s special singlet, or in a donation directly to Cancer Patient Care. Your donation will help provide social service support to cancer patients and their families in our region who have limited financial resources.

In addition, Bloomsday is pleased to present you with the opportunity to support cancer patients while honoring the battle of a loved one, friend, or your own. You can purchase a top-of-the-line runner's singlet commemorating your race this year and supporting our chosen charity partner--Cancer Patient Care. Gold-colored to honor CPC's 50th anniversary, the singlet sports the Lilac Bloomsday Run logo as well as Cancer Patient Care's logo and a place to name those you are honoring on the back. Get out your sharpies--we anticipate thousands of racers will "Go for the Gold" this year. Honor loved ones who have battled cancer while helping cancer patients right here in Spokane and the Inland Northwest. This year your race and personal effort can help save someone's life!

Singlets can be purchased during online registration or at the Cancer Patient Care booth at the Bloomsday Trade Show.

About Cancer Patient Care:

Cancer Patient Care was founded fifty years ago. Created by volunteers in 1958 to provide treatment and give support to local cancer patients, CPC continues to be the only safety net organization in Eastern Washington dedicated to meeting the day-to-day needs of all cancer patients and their families--regardless of gender, age or type of cancer. It remains true to the vision of those pioneering volunteers who chose to establish an independent agency funded wholly through the compassionate support of the community and region. No fees are ever charged for any program or service. Cancer Patient Care is often the agency of last resort for thousands of cancer patients and family members who have nowhere else to turn--to keep their power on in the dead of winter; to meet their prescription costs; to simply fill the gas tank to get to treatments that could save their lives; to feed their families.
