Cancer Navigators’ Daisy Drop scheduled for April 26

Cancer Navigators’ annual Daisy Drop will take place on Sunday, April 26, at 3 p.m. This year, participants will meet at the Courtyard by Marriott and walk to the Chief John Ross Pedestrian Bridge led by cancer fighter, Brad Robinson.

The Daisy Drop and reception is a free community event, and Cancer Navigators staff will be on-site, handing out complimentary daisies that attendees can drop into the river to pay tribute to loved ones affected by cancer. The event is rain or shine.

“The Daisy Drop started over a decade ago and has become a Cancer Navigators tradition and an important way for us to honor our patients and all who have been impacted by cancer,” said Jonna Duke, Cancer Navigators Office & Outreach Coordinator. “We are grateful for our sponsors who enable us to continue to host this special event.”
