1st Annual Reign Over Cancer Walk
Postponed Until February 25, 2018
Due to the massive flooding the Katy community experienced as a result of
Hurricane Harvey and the continued efforts to recover from the devastation
it caused, the Reign Over Cancer (“ROC”) Walk has been postponed until
Sunday, February 25, 2018. The walk will be held at Cane Island and will
begin at 2 PM. Plan to stick around after the walk to enjoy complimentary
food and beverages, music and family-friendly activities.
The ROC Walk will recognize people in the community currently
undergoing cancer treatment, highlight survivors and raise money to
fund GEST Foundation grants. Register as an individual or a team online
at www.GESTfoundation.org. Proceeds from the ROC Walk will provide
grants for services including grocery delivery, home cleaning, home
wound care, transportation or even counseling to help with the internal
wounds that come with facing the news “you have cancer.” The walk will
be fun for ALL ages, so grab your family and friends and join us at the
beautiful Cane Island for an afternoon of fun while raising money for a
very important cause.
Registration for the ROC Walk is still open and we encourage everyone to
sign up! Register now at www.GESTFoundation.org. For up to the minute
