All press releases must include a valid entry in the Organization Name field. If you are a public relations or investor relations agency, the source will be your client, not the name of your agency.

Nearly two decades after the idea for a Cancer Survivors Park grew from a high school senior project to beautify an area outside a local cancer treatment center, Greenville Cancer Survivors Park will hold its grand opening this weekend.

A public ribbon cutting will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, June 1. “The Dedication to a Vision of Hope and Healing” will feature community leaders sharing the story about the creation of the park and plans for the Center for Hope & Healing, a space for community celebrations and survivorship programs. The ceremony will include recognition of the Greenville Health System, the David Cline family, and other contributors who made the park possible.

A ticketed event, “The Garden Party,” will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 2. The fundraising soiree will feature music by Trey Francis, food by Chef 360 Catering, and beverages by Uptown Pour Co.

Guests at the party will be able to walk through the park and hear stories about the design and meaning, and watch artists in action. Tickets are $125 and are available at cancersurvivorspark.org/the-garden-party.php. Proceeds will benefit the Cancer Survivors Park Alliance’s education programs.

A free Cancer Survivors Day Celebration will be held at the park from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 3. Activities include walking tours of the park, yoga classes, arts and crafts, children’s activities, an art display, and light refreshments. A survivors recognition ceremony and photo are set for 2:32 p.m. atop the Celebration of Hope Pavilion. Registration is requested but not required.

“We are excited to be celebrating a significant milestone — the transformation of a challenged piece of property into a beautiful park. We still have much to do as we transition from bricks and mortar to a focus on incorporating the creative features, programs, and resources that are the essence of our vision — creating a space for hope and healing,” said Kay Roper, executive director of the Cancer Survivors Park Alliance.
