NORTH COUNTY — The Cancer Support Community — CA Central Coast (CSC-CCC) is excited to announce the 3rd Annual Walk for Cancer, taking place on Sunday, Oct. 20, at the breathtaking Oyster Ridge Barn at Santa Margarita Ranch, hosted by Ancient Peaks Winery.

“Our Walk for Cancer is more than just an event; it’s a testament to the strength and solidarity of our community,” said Candice Galli, executive director of CSC-CCC. “Every step we take and every dollar we raise directly contributes to the care and support that our local cancer patients need. We are thrilled to witness the growth of this event each year and deeply appreciate the community’s continued support.”
