Henderson, NC (June 20, 2017) –The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is hosting an interest meeting on Thursday, June 29 at 6 PM at Smithfield BBQ in Henderson. They will be discussing ideas for the future of RFL in Vance County and encourage all interested citizens to attend.
The American Cancer Society is also seeking volunteers in Vance County – walkers, cancer survivors, caregivers, community leaders, anyone wanting to make a difference – to organize and recruit fundraising teams, garner community support, coordinate logistics, seek refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment and lend a hand to ensure the success of the 2018 event.
Relay For Life is a truly unique experience which unites communities to finish the fight against cancer. Volunteer support is crucial to the event and will help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
The donations raised through Relay For Life of Vance County supports the mission of the American Cancer Society to save lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures and by fighting back against the disease.
We are fortunate in North Carolina to have so many great researchers from places like Duke University, the University of North Carolina and Wake Forest University. Through the help of community supporters, the American Cancer Society has been able to fund over $20 million in cancer research in North Carolina.
