The annual survivorship celebration will be Saturday, Sept. 26, at The Legacy Theater in Carthage.
While the location has moved off the courthouse square, the event has the same cause and goals – to fight cancer and help those in Hancock County who are in a battle with cancer. The public is urged to attend and share in the celebration.

Events begin at 4 p.m. with food, drinks, popcorn, and snacks available outside the theater. Lights of Hope and tickets for the half-a-hog raffle will continue to be sold from 4 to 6 p.m. Survivor check-in begins in the lobby at 5 p.m., and the celebration will be in the theater auditorium from 6 to 8:15 p.m.

Survivors should register in advance if possible by filling out a form found on the HCFC website, by calling Joy Swearingen at 217-357-4989, or by coming on the night of the tribute. Those survivors whose registration form is received by Aug. 20 can request the annual free HCFC survivor shirt.
Event shirts, which help support HCFC, are available for anyone to order online at hancockcountyfightscancer.org. These orders must also be received by Aug. 20 so that shirts can be ordered.
