Providence St. John’s Garden to Glow with Hundreds of Lights Honoring Cancer Survivors

Luminaria Display at Jimmy Stewart Rose Garden to Raise Awareness and Funds

Hundreds of luminarias will illuminate the Jimmy Stewart Rose Garden at Providence Saint John’s Health Center on Sunday, Sept. 7, as part of a community event honoring lives touched by cancer.

Organized by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), the free evening event will celebrate cancer survivors, recognize caregivers and patients, and pay tribute to loved ones lost to the disease. Each glowing “Light of Hope” bag represents a personal story of resilience, remembrance, or ongoing fight.

The gathering comes as Congress debates its annual budget, with proposed federal cuts to the National Cancer Institute and National Institutes of Health threatening cancer research funding nationwide. ACS
