For twenty-five years, a mountain in Utah has served as a gathering place for those whose lives have been reshaped by cancer — survivors, caregivers, and the bereaved alike. On July 17th, the Cancer Survivors at the Summit returns to Snowbird, offering not just ceremony and remembrance, but a quiet insistence that healing is a communal act. The funds raised flow directly to Survivor Wellness, ensuring that the support a diagnosis demands is never contingent on the ability to pay for it.
