YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. – Support Connection in Yorktown Heights will be hosting its 11th annual Celebrate Life Day party Sunday, June 7 in Ossining.

The party also coincides with National Cancer Survivors Day, according to a press release.

This year’s party will include lunch, music and entertainment.

Several people are scheduled to give motivational speeches, including Nancy Heller and Joe Madigan.

Heller is Support Connection’s co-founder and board president and a 30-year breast cancer survivor.
