Volunteers needed for American Cancer Society Relay for Life
Winnsboro, LA, November 25, 2008- Walkers, cancer survivors (anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer), community leaders, team captains and hard workers are all needed to make the American Cancer Society Relay For Life a reality in Winnsboro.
The first volunteer committee meeting for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life will be held on December 11, 2008 at 5:30 p.m. at the Learning Development Center in Winnsboro to begin planning the event designed to raise funds and awareness of the fight against cancer in Franklin Parish.
Relay For Life is a unique fundraising event that allows participants from all walks of life – including patients, medical support staff, corporations, civic organizations, churches and community volunteers – to join together in the fight against cancer. Relay For Life is a team event where participants walk around a track relay style overnight. Teams of cancer fighting enthusiasts will gather in May 2009, to show their support and dedication. Volunteers from the Franklin Parish community are needed to begin planning now for this event.
"Relay For Life is as much an awareness raiser about the progress against cancer as it is a fund raiser," said Emily Arnold, Event Chair. "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."
Volunteers are needed to organize and recruit teams; seek community support; and underwrite, coordinate logistics, find refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment, and lend their support in any way. If you would like to join the Relay For Life in Franklin Parish as a volunteer or team participant, call the American Cancer Society at 318-722-3471, or visit www.RelayForLife.org.
The American Cancer Society is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by saving lives, diminishing suffering and preventing cancer through research, education, advocacy and service. Founded in 1913 and with national headquarters in Atlanta, the Society has 13 regional Divisions and local offices in 3,400 communities, involving millions of volunteers across the United States.
