Relay for life in Richmond Virginia

Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day, cancer will be eliminated.

As a volunteer for the American Cancer Society, I am asking for your help in the success of this year’s event. In 2006 with your help or the help of businesses just like yours, The Relay For Life – Courthouse Event raised over $104,000.00. Due to the support of the Relay For Life, the American Cancer Society is making a difference in the live of cancer patients and their families right here in our community. Will your business help us in our fight to find a cure for cancer?

The Relay For Life - Courthouse Event is: June 2 - 3, 2007, at L.C. Bird High School, 10am – 8am

What is Relay For Life?

Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity and fundraiser. It offers everyone in the community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Our event is a 22-hour event where teams of people camp out at L.C. Bird High School and take turns walking around the track. Teams form from businesses, clubs, families, friends, hospitals, churches, schools, and service organizations. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Participants get donations prior to and during the event to aid in cancer research.

Relay is a phenomenon that occurs in thousands of communities across the country. This is the most successful nonprofit event in the United States. It rallies communities of people from all walks of life – often around people whose lives have been touched by cancer. It is a celebration of life for those who have survived, a memorial for loved ones we have lost, and a chance to join forces in a powerful fight.

Help us accomplish even more in 2007!

There are many ways to support Relay For Life, either as a team captain, participant, sponsor, volunteer, or donor. Relay is much more than a fundraiser, the event takes on a carnival like flair with games, music and lots of fun. We would love for you to join!
