1. Overview

Cancer Creates Warriors holds strict security policies in order to protect our warriors and persons who attend or participate in our events. Our policies play an important role in providing a safe and respectful environment for all who choose to participate in our events.

3. Policies

These policies are effective indefinitely, many of our warriors, volunteers, staff, and even board members have compromised immune systems which means we must do everything in our power to limit the spread of any viruses. Our #1 priority is always safety, and we mean it. Anyone not following the policies outlined on this page will be subject to removal from an event. 

Regardless of political views or ideology, we cannot allow any possibility of virus transmission at our events. People's lives really do depend on respecting and following these security policies. Like stated above, many of our participants are affected by compromised immune systems and it is only responsible to ensure a safe environment for all who choose to attend.
