Hello everyone, this is Rena sending out this message. This is the event we have planned for November 14th, 2026. This one is in replacement of Rena's Craft Fair Cancer Benefit that I use to have in my home, here in Poynette. It was getting so big at my home which made it difficult for people to walk around. I have decided to start this adventure with the help of some pretty amazing ladies. We have partnered with the Poynette Park & Rec and Our goal is to help as many cancer patients as we are able to in Columbia County. I (Rena) know firsthand how hard it is to manage around an illness so devastating, learning to navigate the new normal, figuring out how to manage the small things and how to get them done on a minimal budget. People think when we are helping someone who has cancer that its all about the Dr bill, well its not! There are so many layers, it affects everyone in that person's circle. With the benefits I have had in the past, to help cover some of my costs of living with cancer, I have felt the care, the support, the love, the prayers and I truly want to pass this forward. I will be set up also at this event to raise money for myself as well, but there will be more vendors that have the same struggles, and some that are supporting someone with cancer. The Cancel Out Cancer of Columbia County is also a new organization and will be one of the primary vendors at this event, the money made for this organization will be put into a bank, and when the applications start for help/assistance the board will go over them and get to them on an individual bases. We want to help people where they are at, so maybe they have good health insurance but cant get the lawn mowed- let us know what you need and we are putting together a system that we are hoping will accomodate people's needs. So Please, Share this Info, Share the time/dates, Show up, Donate. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out.
