In the evening at Band Against Cancer, we will have thousands of illumination candles lining the event. Each candle honors someone who has been touched by
cancer or has lost their battle with cancer. Each bag bears a name and optional sentiment, and each name will be read aloud September 11, 2021 at 7:00pm at the Italian Picnic Grounds.
You can support local cancer needs and show your appreciation to a special person by purchasing a luminary candle for a suggested donation of $10. Though online luminary sales have ended for 2021, you can still purchase candle(s) at the event, 9am to 5pm on 9/11. Team 34 will be selling customizable luminaries, so you can bring a photo or other lightweight items to decorate your bags.
For more information on luminary candles, please call the Amador STARS office at (209) 267-1246.
Registration for our 2021 event is closed.
Our honored guests will enjoy a complimentary brunch at 10am with live mellow music. Enjoy fellowship, fun, and free gifts in a comfortable air conditioned location. Registered guests are welcome to bring friends and family to this special event in your honor. You may purchase additional brunches for your guest(s) when you register. We ask that you check in between 9am and 10am and be seated for brunch promptly at 10am. Afterwards we invite you to stay for the Band Against Cancer activities -- quilt sale, raffles, live entertainment & much more!
If you would like more information, please call the Amador STARS office at (209) 267-1246.
Our event would not be possible without the generous support of dozens of individuals and businesses who sign up as sponsors. You can help in this venture with a corporate sponsorship. We need your support more than ever this year! All funds raised will remain in Amador County, except for 8% that will be donated to cancer research. STARS is proud to help meet
local cancer needs and assist in the search for a cure.
