Through Cancer Awareness Walk in Baileyville
This October, the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center invites our community to come together for something much bigger than a walk. On Monday, October 12, 2026, we will host A Season of Hope: Inspiring Change Through Cancer Awareness Walk – Baileyville, a community cancer awareness walk and fundraiser held as part of Baileyville OctoberFest. The event will begin at the Woodland High School parking lot, with check-in at 8 am and the walk beginning at 9 am. This special morning is about bringing together cancer survivors, individuals currently undergoing treatment, caregivers, families, friends, businesses, healthcare providers, and community members to raise awareness and critical funds, celebrate survivorship, support those currently facing cancer, and remember those we have lost. Walk for Someone. Walk for Hope. Download a flyer for details.
