AAs director of the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, I would like to thank the residents of Monmouth County for their generosity and support. Close to 400 people on 65 teams participated in this year’s event at Monmouth Regional High School, raising more than $140,000 for the American Cancer Society’s research, education, advocacy and service programs in Monmouth County. The outstanding support received proves that the people of Monmouth County are truly committed to the fight against cancer.
I want to applaud the more than 100 survivors who participated in the opening ceremony and the survivor recognition. They are the reason we continue the fight because each year there could be more and more people living wonderful lives following a diagnosis of cancer.
A special thanks to the many Relay for Life volunteers who worked to make this event a success. The Relay for Life committee did an outstanding job of putting the event together.
We also appreciate the generosity of this year’s corporate sponsors. Relay for Life would not be possible without the help of corporations like Builders’ General Supply Co., Meridian Health System and Carluccio, Leone, Dimon, Doyle and Sacks, LLP.
Again, thank you for supporting the American Cancer Society, and remember, it’s not too early to become involved in Relay for Life next year.
