Cancer Alliance Network outdoor yoga fundraiser returns to Baker Park in Naples

NAPLES, Fla. - March 3, 2025 - PRLog -- An annual outdoor yoga fundraiser that supports the non-medical needs of Southwest Florida cancer patients is returning to the green lawn of Baker Park in Naples this spring.

The 11^th annual YogaCAN Naples benefit on behalf of Cancer Alliance Network (CAN) is scheduled for Sunday, April 6 at 9 a.m. on the lawn of Baker Park, 100 Riverside Circle in Naples. Advance registration is available online; same-day registration will also be available, starting at 8 a.m.

CAN is devoted to providing dignity to local cancer patients and their families in Collier and Lee counties through financial aid, resources and support. Through generous community donations, CAN turns despair into hope by providing a lifeline during a very difficult time.

The annual benefit began more than a decade ago, growing out of a community yoga class, JaneCAN, that was initially created as an opportunity for family, friends and community members to support Jane Waltzer as she and her family faced the challenges of living with breast cancer.

Following her passing, Jane's legacy of selfless service continues through the annual YogaCAN event, founded by her husband Dr. Joel Waltzer. In February, the Alliance for the Arts in Fort Myers hosted Lee County's inaugural YogaCAN.

Individual tickets are available for $55 ($65 the day of the event), or $20 for children ages 4-12. The class will be led by local yoga instructor Debi Grilo with the YogaCAN presenting studio, Practice Yoga. VIP tickets and sponsorships are also available.

For sponsorship opportunities, or to purchase tickets, please call 239-643-HOPE or visit https://canceralliancenetwork.org/event/yogacan-naples/.
