EXETER—The community is invited to come fly a kite at Exeter Hospital’s annual Kites Against Cancer event on Sunday, May 18 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Hampton Beach, near the Oceanfront Pavilion.

This uplifting family event invites community members to spend an afternoon at the beach surrounded by family, friends and neighbors in support and in memory of those affected by cancer. The event is free and open to the public. Kites will be available at the event for a $10 donation, which will support Exeter Hospital’s Beyond the Rainbow Fund, providing financial assistance to cancer patients in need with expenses such as groceries, utilities, gas, and rent/mortgage payments, as well as any other practical needs that may become unmanageable during their treatment.

This community event would not be possible without the support of Newburyport Bank, the event’s Platinum Beyond the Rainbow Sponsor, as well as Sponsor Dunkin’ Donuts/the Salema Group and the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce.
