The ninth annual Luminaria Celebration was held on Wednesday, August 2, at the Churchville Village Gazebo. The event is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and this year proceeds were over $1,400. Donors purchase luminaria bags 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 are invited to take them home for further remembrance and reflections.
