The Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center wishes to express its appreciation to our neighbors and friends...
Light the Night event was held in Bushnell Park in Hartford on September 29. Different colored lanterns were carried for survivors, supporters,
and in memory of loved ones lost to cancer.
Many thanks to the members of Team Leever who participated in this event and to those who donate year-round.
Thanks to Seymour Pink for organizing the 12th annual Seymour Pink Live 5K in Seymour, CT, on October 7. The Leever Center was a proud finish line sponsor.
We are most appreciative for the following donations from our caring community:
- Janet Doctors, Alissa Henderson, and Bethlehem North Purchase “Happy Hookers” Group for unique knit hats.
- Naugatuck Senior Center for handknit lap blankets.
- Red Heart Yarns for their generous donation of yarn.
- Maryann Jackson for useful chemo caps.
- Nicole Barber of Cancer Can’t Co. for their donation of 31 sweatshirts and tee shirts with port-a-cath access zippers.
- Courtney Raymond for the contribution of personal care and medical supply items from Unilever NA.
The Watertown Police Department hosted their 8th annual golf tournament, once again teeing off for the Leever Center. Special thanks to Austin Keeney who organized the event with the help of countless sponsors, participants, and volunteers. The tournament specifically raises funds for our “Stepping Forward” Survivorship Program, designed to address the needs of cancer survivors.
