Wings of Hope Moving to Bear Creek
Butterfly release event to honor those who have faced a cancer diagnosis will take place on September 7
The Cancer Support Community of the Greater Lehigh Valley is pleased to announce its Wings of Hope butterfly release event will be moving to Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Macungie and will take place on Sunday, September 7, 2025. Previously, the event was held at Cedar Crest College. The new venue provides CSC GLV with more indoor/outdoor space, allowing attendees to enjoy the activities planned that surround the release, including: a kids activity area, the Field of Butterflies (pin-up paper butterfly space), featured speakers, music and more.
“We are excited to work with Bear Creek as our Wings of Hope event continues to grow”, said Gina Stano, Executive Director of Cancer Support Community of the Greater Lehigh Valley. “We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cedar Crest College, who were great hosts for many years. Our planning committee and staff feel that now is the time to branch out into a new facility to meet the demands of the growing number of participants while keeping the essence of this honor and remembrance event.”
Wings of Hope is a Signature Event held by the Cancer Support Community – Greater Lehigh Valley. Participants can purchase live butterflies to be released in tandem with others, filling the sky to honor those who have received a cancer diagnosis. In addition, paper butterflies can be purchased, decorated and pinned onto special curtains forming a field of butterflies to honor and remember those in our cancer community.
