The American Cancer Society (ACS) is inviting Roosevelt Island residents to organize and participate in a Relay For Life on Roosevelt Island. The ACS will be hosting meetings on September 25 and October 24 to explain what is involved in organizing a Relay For Life and to determine if there are volunteers willing to participate.

A Relay For Life is:
  • Organized, overnight community fundraising walk
  • Teams of people camp out around a track
  • Members of each team take turns walking around the track
  • Food, games and activities provide entertainment and build camraderie
  • Family-friendly environment for the entire community
Because it’s a team event, individual participants are not required to be there the entire time. But it's so much fun, you'll find it hard to leave!
According to the ACS:
Relay For Life of Roosevelt Island in 2013?

Relay For Life is a family-friendly, community-focused, cancer awareness & fundraising event. A Relay works to:
  • strengthen the bonds that tie a community together
  • honor those that have lost their battle with cancer
  • celebrate the progress we have made in the fight against cancer
  • learn and share all there is about health and wellness
  • provide a festival-like experience full of entertainment
...all with your friends, family, and neighbors!
