The kick-off rally will provide

The world’s largest grassroots
fundraising movement, Relay For
Life mobilizes communities through
out the country to celebrate people
who have battled cancer, remember
loved ones lost, and provide partici
pants with an opportunity to fight
back against the disease. Relay
brings together friends, families,
businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-
based groups . . . people from all
walks of life — all aimed at further
ing the American Cancer Society’s
vision of creating a world with less
cancer and more birthdays.
Relay For Life began in 1985 with
one man who walked and ran
around a track for 24 hours and
raised $27,000 for the American
Cancer Society. This year, Relay For
Life will take place in nearly 5,100
communities in the U. S. and 20
other countries and will raise funds
to support the Society’s mission of
saving lives by helping people stay
well, by helping people get well, by
finding cures and fighting back.
