In 1993, OncoLogics hosted the first National Cancer Survivors
Day event held in Acadiana. This event is sponsored solely
by OncoLogics and is a day of celebration for their patients
and other cancer survivors in the area, as well as the survivors'
friends and family. OncoLogics continues the tradition of
celebrating "the renewal of life" each year. The
event is held on the first Sunday in June and usually offers
refreshments, keynote speakers, entertainment, raffles and
bingo. National Cancer Survivors Day continues to grow annually
in attendance and support.
The Games of Acadiana - Lafayette, LA
OncoLogics is proud to be one of the original co-sponsors

the Miles Perret Cancer Center. All funds raised stay in the
Acadiana area to assist the Miles Perret Cancer Center, which
is a comprehensive resource center and clearinghouse for cancer

information, advocacy and support services. The Perret center
receives its sole support from contributions and The Games
of Acadiana remains its largest financial contributor.
