Artist Misha Lenn was inspired to create and donate an original watercolor painting to commemorate the opening of the cancer center. He also painted special versions for each of the three CEOs (like the one shown here).

Cancer Center patient Marilyn Legg testified to the expert care she has received, and invited attendees to give themselves a hug from future patients who will benefit from our services.

George Montilio of Montilio’s Bakery donated a cake decorated to look like the cancer center and a portion of the parking garage.
