The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Tri-Town Committee is holding its next meeting for the 2013 season on Wednesday, February 13 at 6:00 pm at the Old Rochester Regional High School Library, located at 135 Marion Road, Mattapoisett.
Relay For Life is the signature event of the American Cancer Society. It is a fun-filled, overnight event that mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate survivors (anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer), remember loved ones, commit to fight back through health lifestyle changes, and raise money for the fight against cancer.
Relay For Life is as much an awareness-raiser about the progress against cancer as it is a fundraiser. 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, coordinate logistics, find refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment and lend their support in any way.
