Chop Cancer Competition To Raise Money For Cancer Survivor Park

On August 28, 2015 community leaders in the upstate got together at the Convention Center for “Chop! Cancer.” The event took place in front of a live audience and participants got to show off their cooking skills to raise money for the “Cancer Survivors Park Alliance.” “Chop! Cancer” is raising money to develop a 6.8 acre cancer survivor park along the swamp rabbit trail between Church and Cleveland streets in Downtown Greenville.

The park will give cancer survivors and their families a distraction from coping with cancer, and the opportunity to commune and enjoy each other’s company.

The competition included WYFF News 4’s Patrick Hussion and consisted of three teams of six amateur chefs. The teams divided up into pairs to cook an appetizer, entree, and desert that included some cancer fighting ingredients. Three judges chose a winner.
