American Cancer Society Relay For Life What is Relay For Life: A Unique Community Event Relay For Life allows individuals from all walks of life to join in the fight against cancer. This overnight event raises money and awareness while serving as a celebration for cancer survivors. Teams form from businesses, clubs, families, friends, hospitals, schools, faith-based organizations, and service organizations. A member from each team is on the track walking, jogging, or running while other members camp out along the track and enjoy entertainment, activities, and celebrating a world with more birthdays. Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society s signature activity, as it encompasses the wide variety of programs and services that the organization has to offer. An unstoppable momentum brings Relay For Life to new heights each year. Annually, 250,000 new participants join the millions who are already involved, as Relay events bring them together around one common goal of fighting cancer. Volunteer committees working in their local communities all-year round, lead thousands of events nationwide-each each with its own local flavor.
Why Relay For Life? To celebrate the lives of cancer survivors To remember those who have lost their battle To be inspired by friends, new and old To connect with our communities To support those in the midst of their fight To do our part in the fight against cancer By joining the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, you ll become a partner with a leader in the fight against cancer. Since 1946, when it began its research program, the American Cancer Society has invested more than $3.3 billion in cancer research and funded 44 Nobel Prize winners early in their career. The Society provides up-to-date-, comprehensive, and unbiased cancer information to the public 24 hour a day at 1.800.227.2345 and cancer.org. American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network is the advocacy affiliate of The Society and is responsible for working locally and nationwide to promote policies, laws, and regulations that benefit people affected by cancer and improve public health.
Why Relay For Life? Advantages of Working with the American Cancer Society According to a 2007 Harris Interactive Study, cancer is the nation s most important health problem, both nationally and personally, and rightfully so. Each year, nearly 1.5 million people in the United States find out that they have cancer, and an estimated 560,000 Americans will lose their battle to this disease. By becoming a sponsor of an American Cancer Society program or event, you are helping to find cures for cancer and to reduce the burden of this disease on our community. People will see and know your company as an organization committed to the well-being of your customers, employees, and community. Joining forces with a trusted brand The American Cancer Society is one of the most recognized names in the country. A recent survey showed that the American Cancer Society had 96 percent name recognition and was widely viewed as a leader in cancer research and unbiased information. Nearly two thirds of Pennsylvanians in a recent poll had heard of Relay For Life. There is a Relay event for every 62,000 people in the United States, and one in every 100 Americans participates in Relay in some way. Relay s growth continues, especially on college campuses and among youth. Your association with the American Cancer Society is a competitive advantage for your company, generating a more positive corporate image, improved customer loyalty, and increased sales potential. 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. Anonymous
