The Juanita Pharr Cancer Support Group will host a gala for Winn Parish cancer survivors on Feb. 7, 2026, to recognize the men and women who fight this disease each day, celebrate those who have won their battle, and remember those who are no longer with us.

This event will consist of a dinner, entertainment and motivational speakers. Rhonda Pharr, support group director, says the goal is simple: treat every survivor like the stars they are and create a celebration worth remembering. Pharr asks cancer survivors to contact the group to be added to the event’s list of honorees. Each honoree will receive two tickets to attend. Funds raised will stay in Winn Parish to continue assisting local patients who are undergoing treatment.

The support group thanks First United Methodist Church, Winn Parish Medical Center, Arclin and the many volunteers helping plan the event. If you’re a survivor or would like details, email juanitapharrcsg@gmail.com or call 318-332-4713. More details will be shared in the coming weeks. “In Winn Parish, no one fights alone.”
