Join us Saturday, September 14th
at The University of Findlay, Koehler Center

Cancer Patient Services's third annual Flock Walk will be held outside surrounding the UF campus. This is a family-friendly event with other activities! Join us and walk with your family, friends, and neighbors to support LOCAL cancer patients! All participants must be registered by Friday, September 13th at 9pm.

We're putting the FUN in RUN!

The 5K part of the event will not be timed this year. This will be a fun run. Prizes will still be awarded to the fastest male and female runner! If you're not into running, don't fret! We will also have a 1-mile family fun walk available.

The upcoming walk will commence with a lap indoors led by local community survivors. The event will feature activities such as running, walking, inflatables, and more. Participants may honor or remember their loved ones by purchasing flamingo yard signs that will adorn the walkway and can be collected at the end. Before the event, it is suggested to decorate the flamingos, which can be obtained from our office. In case you're not into decorating, we're happy to do it for you. There's also an opportunity to win big through Raffle Baskets donated by local businesses and individuals. Additionally, a Visa Card Raffle is available, where you can win a Visa Gift Card worth $1,500, $750, $500, or $250. Basket Raffle tickets can be purchased on-site, while Visa Raffle tickets can be bought in advance. We appreciate your support and welcome any inquiries via email at development@cancerpatientservices.org.

Why Flamingos?

Known for their bright colors and funny stance, flamingos are very special birds. For instance, when a flamingo gets sick the rest of the flock gathers around to protect and care for that bird. Providing compassionate support is exactly what CPS provides to cancer patients in Hancock County through their journey. For this reason, we have unofficially adopted the flamingo as our mascot.

Looking to Purchase Flamingo Yard Signs?

Purchase a flamingo yard sign to line our walk route. Signs can be purchased in honor or memory of someone. Flamingos can be picked up prior to or at the event. Feel free to decorate your flamingo in honor or memory of your loved one.
