The YMCA of the Greater Tri-Valley, MVCC's Kidz 'N Coaches Club, Oneida Health and The KEYS Program are partnering to celebrate Cancer Survivorship!
Through the Stay Strong Survivorship Program held at the YMCA, cancer survivors are surrounded with physical, mental and spiritual support to help them stay strong during the process while they battle the disease.
This collaboration is working to expand these services to YOUTH survivors in our region and their families.
We are welcoming musical guest Nat Myers, a Korean-American country-blues musician and poet based in Kentucky, recognized for his authentic, pre-war Delta blues style.
We also welcome Eden Brent, celebrated American blues pianist and vocalist from Greenville, Mississippi, known for her energetic "piano-pounding" style and soulful, "whiskey-smoke" vocals.
Cancer is a life-changing disease for the entire family that takes a tremendous physical and emotional toll on those affected. Oneida Health Cancer Care, in partnership with the YMCA of the Greater Tri-Valley, has developed the StayStrong program to meet the unique needs of our cancer patients.
Through this benefit concert, our goal is to expand our current service offerings for youth Survivors in our region and provide a comprehensive wellness plan for the entire family. By uniting in positivity through the arts, we can make a difference for those affected by cancer in our community and surround families who need your support with services that will bring them hope, health and healing.

Join FOCUS for a hybrid public forum where panelists will explore what it takes to ensure young children in our community are healthy, supported, and ready to thrive. Panelists from the Early Childhood Alliance of Onondaga, which works to build a coordinated system of early childhood supports across Onondaga County, and Child Care Solutions, a local nonprofit that helps families find quality care and connects them to financial assistance and other resources, will share what they see working with local families every day, what resources are available, and what still needs to change. After opening remarks from our panel, the conversation moves to a moderated Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions and discover ways to engage with local priorities and partnerships. This is a welcoming, respectful space for community members to learn, engage, and explore ways to be actively involved in shaping the civic life of Central New York.
Join us for a community stewardship event along Onondaga Creek to plant shade trees near the Kirk Park Kayak Launch and create a mini Food Forest patch to support long-term ecological health and community access to green space.
