FAQs
What is Survivor Wellness?
Survivor Wellness is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that provides supportive services to anyone affected by cancer - patients, survivors, caregivers, and family members. Proceeds from Survivors at the Summit support Survivor Wellness' programs and services. Learn more at https://survivorwellness.org/
What are Tribute Flags?
The tradition of Tribute Flags began with the first Survivors at the Summit when a group of survivors took two days to hike to the top of Kings Peak, carrying heavy bundles of flags in their packs which were displayed at the summit. Each flag bears a message of love, hope, honor and remembrance. For the participants, the journey to the summit with their flags was a means of reaching new peaks of resilience and ability despite a cancer diagnosis. We continue the tradition of Tribute Flags to honor those we've lost and to show the triumph of the human spirit despite all odds.
Your donation for a set of Tribute Flags or for an individual flag supports programming at Survivor Wellness. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this remarkable community resource center!
How can I get my own Tribute Flags?
Tribute Flags fly at the summit of Hidden Peaks during Survivors at the Summit.
Tribute Flags are available for an additional donation when you register for Survivors at the Summit: $300 for a set of ten flags, or $30 for an individual flag.
See "Add-Ons" to make a donation and receive your flag or set of flags, as well as instructions on how to see your flag flying at the summit!
Tribute Flags can be picked up from our offices at 59 South 1100 East, Salt Lake City during regular business hours - call to schedule your pickup. Flags may be claimed after the event as a keepsake; contact our offices to pick up after the event.
