March 30, 2026 – A popular outdoor yoga fundraising event, YogaCAN, is returning to the green lawn of Baker Park in Naples on Sunday, April 12, in support of Cancer Alliance Network.
The event will be held at 9 a.m. on the lawn outside of The Gomez Center at Baker Park, 100 Riverside Circle in Naples. Led by local yoga instructor Debi Grilo, owner of Practice Yoga, the all-level yoga class welcomes ages 6+ for a morning of mind and body restoration, featuring yoga and crystal bowl sound healing.
The annual YogaCAN benefit began more than a decade ago as a community yoga class, JaneCAN, to rally support for breast cancer patient Jane Waltzer. Following her passing, Jane’s husband and Cancer Alliance Network board member Joel Waltzer continued Jane’s legacy of selfless service through the YogaCAN benefit. The annual event started in Naples before expanding to Lee County last year.
The 13th annual event supports Cancer Alliance Network in its efforts to provide dignity for families with cancer in Collier and Lee counties through financial assistance, resources and support. Individual tickets are available online at $55 for adults and $20 for children ages 6-12. VIP tickets are also available for $500 and include choice seating for the yoga session, a VIP gift bag and $100 gift card to Urban Meditation. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own yoga mat or towel for comfort…
