Community gathers to honor strength and resilience during National Cancer Survivor Day celebration in June

Bloomington, Indiana – The Cancer Support Community of South Central Indiana is inviting people from all walks of life to join them in a special celebration on Sunday, June 1, 2025. The event, which honors cancer survivors and their journeys, will take place from noon to 2:00 p.m. at the South Lobby of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

This uplifting gathering will be filled with joy, music, and support. It’s free to attend and open to everyone, whether you’re a cancer survivor, a caregiver, a friend, or simply someone who wants to stand in solidarity with those affected by cancer. The two-hour event promises something for all ages, including fun kids’ activities, sweet treats, and food concessions.

In addition to the lively atmosphere, the event will offer wellness experiences such as mini-reiki and mini-massage sessions for those seeking a moment of peace or self-care. A resource fair will also be on-site, providing valuable information for those seeking support services, guidance, or just a connection to others who understand the cancer journey.
