It was a bittersweet final** Cancer Connection Camp Out February 26-27, as Monte and the campers endured cold, heavy rains overnight and Thursday morning, plus the nearly-endless noodling of the Grateful Dead both days. Talk about a Box of Rain!

When the jam ended and the rains abated we had raised over $72,000 for the Cancer Connection.

These funds will help so many people in our community facing cancer, and their families or caregivers. Cancer Connection provides the kind of support you don’t get from the medical profession. Support groups. Art therapy. Massage and other healing treatments. Cancer Connection treats the whole person, not just the disease.

Thank you so much for your support – it’s what makes Riverlutions like this possible.

This year’s song of the summer is a ballad, not a banger. Here’s what that says about us
