PRESQUE ISLE – Walkers, cancer survivors, community leaders, team captains and dedicated workers are all needed to make the American Cancer Society Relay For Life a reality in Aroostook County. The Relay For Life will be held on June 5-6 at Northern Maine Community College. The event is designed to raise funds and awareness of the fight against cancer.
Relay For Life is a unique fund-raising event that allows participants from all walks of life – including patients, medical support staff, corporations, civic and other organizations, and community volunteers – to celebrate, remember and 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 at NMCC on June 5 to show their support.
Volunteers are needed to organize and recruit teams, seek community support, 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, contact the American Cancer Society at 800-ACS-2345 or online at www.relayforlife.org/aroostookme.
