The number one reason someone donates to a Relay For Life team participant or to the Relay event is simply because they were asked to give. One of the most effective ways to ask friends and family to donate is to ask by email. Did you know that on average, each email sent yields a $42 donation that helps fund cancer research and patient programs?

Road To Recovery What is the Road To Recovery program? Every day thousands of cancer patients need a ride to treatment, but some may not have a way to get there. The American Cancer Society Road To Recovery program provides transportation to and from treatment for people with cancer who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. How does the program work? Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can receive the life-saving treatments they need. If you or your loved one needs a ride to treatment, call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 to be matched with a volunteer. Who is eligible? Patients must be traveling to an appointment required to begin or complete cancer treatment, or to an appointment for complementary therapy during cancer treatment. Transportation cannot be provided for follow-up appointments after treatment has been completed. Patients must be ambulatory, able to walk unassisted to and from the vehicle, or have an accompanying caregiver to assist. Patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a legally responsible adult such as a parent or caregiver. A 4 business day advance notice is required, not including the date transportation is needed. Own a car and like to drive? You should apply to be a Road To Recovery volunteer driver. You get to keep a flexible schedule by choosing the days and times you re available to help. Volunteers must complete an initial new volunteer training and subsequent annual training updates to ensure high-quality service delivery. It is a great way to give back if you are a cancer survivor or if you have had a friend or family member who has had cancer.
