A classic car cruise-in event to help raise awareness about early detection, screening and prevention of prostate, breast and lung cancers will run from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, at 210 W. McKinley Ave. in Decatur.

“We are excited to offer this free event to the public,” said Jill Andrews, manager of Medical Imaging Services at Memorial Cancer Care, Decatur. “It’s a fun opportunity to feature some amazing vintage cars and also raise awareness about the potentially lifesaving benefits of screenings and early detection of prostate and lung cancers.”

The classic car event will include music, food and drinks available for purchase from The Turkey Man, Rockwell Coffee and Big Blue Energy.

Awards will be given for “Best in Show,” “People’s Choice” and “Survivor’s Choice.” Vehicle registration is required but at no cost for those interested in entering a classic car. Car registration begins at 10 a.m. with awards at 2:30 p.m.
