(Raleigh, NC) – (March 1, 2010) - The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Brier Creek/RTP committee is holding a meeting on March 11, 2010 at 6:00 PM at the American Cancer Society (8300 Health Park, Suite 10, Raleigh, NC 27615) to share with residents the importance of Relay for Life in saving lives from cancer.
Relay For Life is the signature event of the American Cancer Society. It is a fun-filled, overnight event that mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate survivors (anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer), remember loved ones, commit to fight back through healthy lifestyle changes, and raise money for the fight against cancer.
“Relay For Life is as much an awareness raiser about the progress against cancer as it is a fundraiser,” said Sarah Caudle, Community Manager for the American Cancer Society. “Individuals who are willing to give their time and energy to this exciting event, as a volunteer or participant, have made a commitment to fight back against this disease and let the community know that you can beat cancer.”
Teams of eight to 15 members gather with tents and sleeping bags to participate in the largest grassroots fundraising even in the nation. Relay For Life brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools and communities. Teams seek sponsorship prior to the Relay, all with the goal of eliminating cancer.
Volunteers are needed to organize and recruit teams, seek community support, coordinate logistics, find refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment, and lend their support in any way.
