Fayette Relay For Life Searching for Cancer Survivors
|
3/1/10 The American Cancer Society of Fayette County and the Relay for Life Organizing Committee are searching for local cancer survivors who would like to participate in the 2010 Relay For Life of Fayette County and the annual pre-event Survivor Dinner.
Relay For Life is an annual fundraiser and the signature event
of the American Cancer Society. The purpose of the rally
is to raise money to fund research and development towards
patient treatment, cancer prevention, and to help find a cure
for cancer. At Relay teams of 10 – 15 people join together
to raise money through pledges, or selling merchandise or food
during the night long walking event.
Relay For Life is also about honoring some very important VIP’s;
local residents who have survived cancer. Relay For Life
is an event that helps survivors feel part of a very special
community and celebrating life with them. Cancer survivors
are treated as honored guests at Relay and are the guests of
honor at a Survivor’s Dinner which is sponsored by
Ellen Hester will be the motivational speaker at this year’s
Survivor Dinner. Ellen is known for her unique and
humorous presentations, often done in character. Attendees
of the Survivor dinner are sure to be enthusiastically energized
and entertained by Ms. Hester.
Survivors can register to attend Relay For Life on-line at
www.relayforlife.org/fayettecounty. Follow the
Survivor/Caregiver link under Event Information.
Invitations to the Survivor Dinner will be mailed to all
registered Survivors. Registration forms are also
available at the Fayette County American Cancer Society (ACS) office located at For more information about the Relay For Life event and the Survivor's Dinner, please contact Jody Abigando, Survivor Development Chairperson at 770-719-6098 or by email at Jody.Abigando@piedmont.org. |
