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