For Immediate Release:

   Washington, NC     The Marion L. Shepard Cancer Center is hosting its 6th annual Cancer Survivors Day event on Sunday, June 10th at First Church of Christ. Doors will open at 1:30. The event, sponsored by the Shepard Cancer Foundation, is a local celebration of National Cancer Survivors Day, which is held each year in many communities around the world.
