Cancer Support Community Delaware held its 8th Annual Wings of Hope Butterfly Release Sept. 8 at the Beebe Medical Arts Building grounds on Route 24. The event featured the release of monarch butterflies in recognition of family, friends and neighbors throughout Sussex County whose lives have been impacted by cancer. The weekend rains also affected this event.
