On Sunday, June 2, eighty-three cancer survivors gathered at the Farmers’ Museum in Cooperstown with their guests, caregivers, and volunteers to celebrate their victories over cancer. Bassett’s 2024 Cancer Survivors’ Day Luncheon was a success by many measures, but by far the most important one is that it left the survivors in attendance feeling honored and valued.Thanks to everyone who made this event possible, including: Presenting/Lead Sponsors – Fennimore Asset Management and Visions Federal Credit Union; Participating Sponsors – Lamont Engineers and Onco360; the Farmers’ Museum for hosting; Brooks’ Barbeque for catering; and the countless Bassett caregivers and volunteers who planned and executed the event.Pictured: Cancer survivor and Bassett Cancer Institute employee Melanie Ray (right) with her guest, sister and fellow cancer survivor Valerie Becker (left).

It is commonly thought that the Emancipation Proclamation, issued on January 1 in 1863, ended slavery in Confederate states. However, it took over two years after that for all enslaved individuals to be freed. On June 19, 1865, word of the Proclamation and enforcement by the Army finally ended slavery in Texas.Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day and Freedom Day, celebrates that moment and the freedom that followed. This day also serves as an important reminder of historical and current racial inequities in our country - and our collective responsibility to create a future of freedom, opportunity, and community for all.
