Jon Charest, senior manager of community development for the American Cancer Society, Inc., appeared on WIZS Town Talk Wednesday at 11 a.m.
Relay For Life of Vance County is partnering with Relay teams all across the state to ask volunteers and partners to donate $20 on Saturday, June 20, 2020, in honor of the estimated 20,410 North Carolinians who will pass away from cancer this year.
With cancer patients being among the most vulnerable to COVID-19, and with the pandemic putting the mission of the American Cancer Society in jeopardy due to its impact on fundraising, the goal of the June 20 event is to raise $20,000 for research.
Many in-person Relay events have been canceled this year due to COVID-19 gathering restrictions, but cancer never rests. Mark your calendar for this Saturday to rally team members, friends, family and/or your social media following to donate $20.
Donations may be made through the Relay For Life of Vance County event website (www.RelayForLife.org/VanceNC), Facebook Fundraising, or the American Cancer Society FUNdraising app.
