Wings of Hope butterfly release set June 22 in Milton
Cancer Support Community Delaware will present its 14th Wings of Hope: A Butterfly Release from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, June 22, at Milton Memorial Park, 115 Federal St., Milton.
The event will be highlighted by a 10:30 a.m. ceremony and release of butterflies in recognition of family, friends and neighbors throughout Sussex County whose lives have been impacted by cancer.
Organizers extend thanks to Cape Henlopen Elks Lodge 2540 for its years of continued support for Wings of Hope. The generous curtain sponsorship raised more than $7,000 in 2023 to ensure that no Delawarean faces cancer alone.
The free, family-friendly, rain-or-shine event will feature live performances, vendors, chance and 50/50 raffles, native plant sales, a bake sale hosted by the Village Improvement Association and lots of fun activities for kids.
