Last night our AYA crew took over Cryptid Mountain Mini Golf for an evening of laughs, friendly competition, and community. ⛳✨

From Bigfoot sightings to hole-in-one victories, it was more than just mini golf — it was connection, support, and a reminder that no one walks this journey alone.

At the WVU Cancer Institute, our Adolescent & Young Adult program is about creating space for patients and survivors to be together — to have fun, to breathe, and to just be.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a cryptid-sized night of fun! 💛
