If you didn’t get a chance to attend our Cinco de Mayo Weekend Health Expo, you missed all our amazing vendors, medical services, and the scrumptious dishes from Taco’Clock food truck. This Health Expo was a tremendous opportunity to obtain FREE medical treatment such as mammograms and cervical and breast cancer screening offered through a grant from the Florida Department of Health, as well as the USF MoBull van which offered cervical cancer screening and other exams through a grant from SWFCCC. Additionally, Cancer Tamer Foundation partnered with the Sarasota Prostate Initiative to provide men with prostate cancer screening. And our local Pine Brooks Pharmacy offered various vaccinations such as Covid 19, Pneumonia, Shingles and Tetanus.
Yet medical treatment wasn’t all Cancer Tamer’s Cinco de Mayo Weekend Health Expo had to offer; we also had over thirty vendors offering various goods and services. There were breathtaking artists pictures available and twelve artists who participated in our Breast Cancer Mermaid™ Art Project were present and selling some of their other paintings.
We had entertainment available for event goers such as Theo Rooding who composes his own guitar music; Yoga demos from our local Brooksville Yoga Company, and Tai Chi demos provided by Wanda Van Harlinger from the Veterans Administration Occupational Therapy Department of James A. Haley Hospital. Wanda brought along a few volunteers to help her demonstrate Tai Chi, one of which was Reginia who submitted a painting for the Breast Cancer Mermaid™ Art Project with others from the VA Group. It was wonderful to look up from our PINK TENT and see so many event goers following along with our Yoga and Tai Chi instructors.
