Everyone needs a hero but cancer patients need superheroes. The funds from this event benefit the OMC Cancer Treatment Center. In 2015, proceeds will go toward “Nurturing Hope:A Community Cancer Project.” The goal of the project is to expand and improve the Cancer Treatment Center in order to create a healing environment for all patients undergoing treatment.
