The 10th annual Luminaria Celebration was held on August 7 at the Nancy L. Steedman Village Gazebo in Churchville. The event is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and generated $1,310 this year. Donors purchase luminarias in honor of cancer survivors or in memory of loved ones lost to cancer. The ceremony is an emotional and moving experience for those attending as family, friends, and neighbors are honored and remembered. After the ceremony, those who purchased luminarias were invited to take them home for further remembrance and reflections.
