Drumming to Defeat Cancer
DRUMSTRONG 2019 will celebrate its “Lucky 13” anniversary from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on May 18 at Misty Meadows Farm, in Weddington, North Carolina. Along with drumming throughout the event, there’ll be yoga, food trucks, a kids’ zone, health resources, hammock garden, aerial skills demonstration, health expo, cancer survivor support, a parade and a continuous, fun, interactive, uplifting drum circle raising awareness and funds in support of cancer survivorship, education and research.
The event will use large tents so it’ll be held rain or shine. Drumming is conducted in honor and in memory of others and for participants’ own fortification. Similar DRUMSTRONG events are being held in more than 70 cities in 27 countries to support their own corresponding communities.
Free admission, donations encouraged. Form a team and get pledges for per hour drumming. See DRUMSTRONG.org/Team-Drumstrong. Location: 455 Providence Rd. S. and Ennis Rd.
