On Thursday, February 4, 2010, the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Greater Keene will officially get underway as event volunteers and participants gather at Bentley Commons at 197 Water Street in Keene at 7:00 pm for a kick-off rally to launch their fundraising efforts for the year.

To find out how to volunteer, or to RSVP for the Relay Kick-off, please contact Laura Sweeney at 585-6965 or laura.and.mark@hotmail.com.

The world’s largest grassroots fundraising movement, Relay For Life mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and provide participants with the opportunity to fight back against the disease. Relay brings together people from all walks of life with a shared mission of furthering the American Cancer Society’s vision of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

Anyone interested in forming a team, volunteering for the event, joining the planning committee, or just learning more about Relay For Life is encouraged to attend. Relay teams representing families, clubs, religious and civic organizations, neighborhoods, and local businesses will join together to fight cancer by celebrating survivorship and taking turns walking around the track.
