Cancer Society seeking support for Relay for Life in Freehold

The American Cancer Society has been an active member of Monmouth County communities for many years, offering a number of patient and family services, cancer support groups, tobacco control programs and lifesaving research. We continue our mission thanks to the help of dedicated staff and generous volunteers.

The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life is a community event in every sense of the word. It is a chance for the community to come together for one common cause. Relay for Life celebrates survivorship, gives support to those undergoing treatment and honors the memory of those who have lost their battle.

Being a part of "Relay For Life" means I’m a part of a national grassroots movement to fight cancer. Being a Relay for Life volunteer means I‘m making life better for cancer patients and their families.

With the challenges of our day-to-day demands, time has become a premium and many people are finding it more difficult to participate in community service. But the American Cancer Society still needs your support.

Plans are under way for the annual Relay for Life, to be held at Freehold Raceway on June 1-2, to support cutting-edge cancer research and free transportation to hospitals, to help prevent youth smoking, publish lifesaving literature and develop a new generation of weapons to fight cancer.

Now is the time for individuals, families, organizations, schools, corporations and small businesses to build a team and join our fight to reduce the burden of cancer across America. The Relay for Life can be the site of a company picnic or family gathering while supporting a great cause.

To sign up to participate or learn how you can volunteer for other patient services, call 1-800-ACS-2345 or visit us on the Web at www.cancer.org.
