Why is CARE having a virtual event?  Due to COVID 19, we are having to change from our normal events because we must social distance and do our part to help keep our loved ones and community safe. Since we can't meet or gather, we can still participate in healthy events on our own and keep everyone around us safe...all while supporting a great mission of helping local cancer patients!  If you are interested in supporting CARE further, we are grateful to include you as one of our sponsors.  Please download our sponsorship opportunities at:  carelascruces.org.
