The Cancer Center of Santa Barbara held its 21st Annual “Viva la Vida — a Celebration of Life” party — at SBCC on Saturday for current and former cancer patients, their families and friends. The local event is in honor of National Cancer Survivorship Day.

In spite of cool, cloudy conditions and the threat of rain, the celebration featured a hot lunch, ice cream, popcorn, cupcakes, three alpacas to pet and a host of activities, including a water balloon toss, sack races, crafts and face painting.

Noozhawk Asks: What’s Your Question?

Welcome to Noozhawk Asks, a new feature in which you ask the questions, you help decide what Noozhawk investigates, and you work with us to find the answers.

Here’s how it works: You share your questions with us in the nearby box. In some cases, we may work with you to find the answers. In others, we may ask you to vote on your top choices to help us narrow the scope. And we’ll be regularly asking you for your feedback on a specific issue or topic.

We also expect to work together with the reader who asked the winning questions to find the answer together. Noozhawk’s objective is to come at questions from a place of curiosity and openness, and we believe a transparent collaboration is the key to achieve it.

The results of our investigation will be published here in this Noozhawk Asks section. Once or twice a month, we plan to do a review of what was asked and answered.

Thanks for asking!
