The blue butterfly is a symbol of hope, much like how The Gathering Place is a symbol of hope for those impacted by cancer. 🦋

For the past 18 years, the Blue Butterflies Team has been helping support the mission of The Gathering Place.
With her family, friends, co-workers, and volunteers, Susan and the Blue Butterflies Team have been helping ensure no one has to face cancer alone.
Susan looks forward to the Race every year, and loves the excitement, as well as seeing current and past participants.

- Alice

Every dollar raised helps provide free programs and services for participants like Alice.
