Santa Clarita Honors Cancer Survivors with Dinner Party

Cancer survivors in Santa Clarita Valley are getting the red carpet treatment this spring, and the entire community is rallying to make it unforgettable.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is hosting a survivor and caregiver dinner on March 14 at the Canyon Country Community Center. Each survivor can bring one caregiver as their guest to the evening celebration.

Local Relay teams are going all out to make the night special. They're decorating tables with festive settings and creating inspirational keepsakes for every attendee.

The evening includes raffles, photo opportunities, and a motivating guest speaker. Local restaurants are donating food, while the Saugus High School Choir and Sande Strings Orchestra will provide live entertainment.

Survivors and caregivers need to register for the main Relay For Life event at scvrelay.org by March 1 to receive their dinner invitation. The registration takes just minutes and opens the door to both celebrations.

Why This Inspires

This dinner represents something powerful: a community choosing to celebrate life rather than fear loss. When cancer touches someone's life, the journey forward isn't walked alone in Santa Clarita Valley.

Local businesses are stepping up too, with sponsorship opportunities ranging from $250 to $3,000. These partnerships help honor survivors while supporting cancer research and patient services that benefit everyone.

The celebration continues on May 2 with the main Relay For Life event at Central Park. The free, family-friendly gathering runs from 9 am to 9 pm with a "Superheroes" theme featuring games, food trucks, activities, and education.

More than 100 teams typically participate in Santa Clarita's Relay For Life, walking together to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones, and fight back against cancer. Every lap around the track represents hope for a future where cancer's grip loosens.

The movement brings together neighbors, coworkers, and friends who share the American Cancer Society's vision to end cancer as we know it. Whether joining an existing team or starting a new one, community members can register at SCVRelay.org.

For businesses interested in sponsoring the March 14 dinner, details are available at survivors@scvrelay.org. Every contribution helps create an unforgettable evening for those who've fought so hard.
