It may be freezing this week, but Saturday’s Cancer Freeze event will boast beautiful skies.

The fundraising event was established in 2007 by Caleb Davidson in memory of family and friends who had passed away with cancer. Proceeds will be split among seven beneficiaries. Temperatures are expected to be around 68 degrees on Saturday.

“Cancer Freeze isn’t just an event, but an experience,” Davidson said.

Davidson’s wife, Jennifer said, they can tell folks about Cancer Freeze, but until a person experiences it, they don’t know what they are missing.

“The money that is raised for these families is remarkable but most importantly, the love and support they feel on that day is priceless,” she said.

Saturday’s event will kick off at 7 a.m., with a bass tournament and pancake breakfast.
