What an unbelievable day on the water!

This year’s Gavers Fishing Derby brought together 11 boats, 62 people and an incredible 220 fish caught. More than the numbers, it was a day full of fun, friendship and community, the kind of outing that makes this event so special.

Congratulations to Beth & Rudnicki Insurance and the Mark Murray Group for winning the Captain’s Bet. They’ll receive a free trip next year.

Mark your calendar now for next year’s trip on June 7, 2027!

Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported the event and helped make it such a memorable day.

Dan Wheeler’s name belongs among Gavers Community Cancer Foundation’s Never Be Defeated award recipients for a good reason. He lives by a guiding principle to give people facing cancer hope—a mission he has committed to carry out for a lifetime.

But the heart of Dan’s story isn’t the Never Be Defeated award itself. It’s a phone call that came when he needed it most.

May is National Cancer Research Month, a time to recognize the lifesaving work of researchers, physicians, patients, survivors and advocates.

Cancer affects all of us. That’s why this year’s theme, United by Cancer Research, matters so much. Together, we can support the research, education, treatment and awareness efforts that bring hope to families and communities everywhere.

New Blog Post!
"Before the Barndance became a major community tradition, before hundreds of volunteers and supporters rallied around the cause, before the tents, bands, auction items, and six-figure fundraising totals, there were people like Chuck and Helen Ruth who were all-in from the start.

Their commitment to the Gavers Community Cancer Foundation was never casual. It was personal."
