*WHO* - The American Cancer Society invites individuals who want to honor cancer survivors (anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer) and caregivers, or pay tribute to those who have lost their battle with cancer to join its Relay For Life,*/ /*scheduled for June 19-20, 2009*/ /*in Pittsfield, MA . In 1985, Relay For*/ /*Life began with one man who walked and ran around a track for 24 hours raising $27,000. This year, Relay For Life*/ /*will take place in more than 4,900 communities.
*WHAT* - The Relay For Life kickoff rally is where anyone – families, caregivers, cancer survivors, schools, companies, etc. – get together to begin annual Relay For Life activities.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is an overnight community celebration where individuals and teams camp out, barbecue, dance, and take turns walking around a track relay style to raise funds, while celebrating the lives of those who have had cancer, remembering those lost, and fighting back against a disease that takes too much. At nightfall, participants light hundreds [thousands] of luminaria around the track in a moving ceremony to honor cancer survivors as well as friends and family members lost to the disease. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life represents hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.
*WHEN* – This year’s Kick-off will be held February 10, 2009
* WHERE* – ITAM, 93 Waubeek Road, Pittsfield, MA from 6-8 p.m.
