ACS to hold meeting for Relay for Life
The American Cancer Society is seeking teams for the 23rd annual Relay for Life of Chartiers-Houston, which will be held May 20-21 at Allison Park Elementary School in Houston.
A team meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Presbyterian Senior Care, Washington, to share with community members the importance of Relay for Life and its impact on the fight against cancer.
Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society’s national signature fundraising activity. Teams of people gather to participate in the largest fundraising walk in the nation. Relay for Life unites friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools and churches from all walks of life. Teams raise money before the relay, all with the goal of supporting a cure for cancer.
The theme for this year’s event is a Relay Circus, so there will be plenty of circus activities.
For more information about Relay for Life or to register a team, contact the Washington unit of the American Cancer Society at 724-222-9319 or nancy.verderber@cancer.org.
