Every year Wannamaker Drug honors and remembers victims of cancer by planting a tree as a living tribute to those individuals who have faced the disease. This year Wannamaker Drug planted two trees, one in Cheraw and one in Chesterfield.

In Cheraw, the tree was planted at the home of Alan Carlson in memory of his wife who passed away from cancer this year. 

When asked what the tree planting meant to him, Carlson said, “It means that people care.  That’s important.”

Wannamaker Drug also planted a tree in Chesterfield at Edwards Elementary in honor of four year old Finley Stevens who has battled cancer.

“We appreciate Wannamaker Drug and the community being so supportive of Finley,” said Brent Stevens, Finley’s father.  “It says a lot about a community when they come together and support one of their own. “ 

Finley’s mother, Dayna said,  “Finley is excited that the tree is planted at the school he will be going to one day and the school I teach at.”

Wannamaker Drug places an artificial tree in their store window every October that is decorated with the names of cancer victims and survivors. This year over 140 names were placed on the tree.  Every year a tree is planted in honor and memory of those individuals.
