Cancer fundraiser

Local volunteers are a huge part of a nationwide effort to save lives from cancer, but additional people are needed for the progress to continue. Plans are under way for the Society’s annual fundraiser, Relay For Life®, which will be held at Fluvanna Middle School this Saturday, June 7 starting at 4 p.m. The money raised at Relay enables the American Cancer Society to deliver on its mission of helping people stay well, helping people get well, finding cures and fighting back against the disease.
Relay provides the Society with money to support vital, cutting-edge cancer research, such as that done at the University of Virginia; provides cancer patients with free wigs, transportation to treatment, a 24-hour Help Line; and develops a new generation of medicines that help those battling cancer.
Now is the time for individuals, families, community groups, corporations and small businesses to commit their Relay For Life team participation. Join us at this event to celebrate those who have battled cancer, remember those lost, fight back against the disease, and help the American Cancer Society realize its vision of a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
