Survivors Day 2012: Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!


For the past 16 years, Cancer Services has honored those living with, through and beyond cancer with a Celebration of Life event on National Cancer Survivors Day. For our 17th annual celebration, Cancer Services embraced our Louisiana culture and hosted a Cajun Fais Do-do!

The Fais Do-do took place on June 3rd at St. James Episcopal Church. Attendees enjoyed jambalaya and music from the Coobie Joe Cajun Band. The day concluded with a New Orleans-style second line procession for survivors.

Our kids also had a special Survivors Day event with Dream Night at the Zoo. BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo hosted over 200 members of our Childrens Programs a for special night of animals, activities, music and more!
