The American Cancer Society's Relay For LifeŽ |
||||
|
Relay For LifeŽ of Burlington was a fun-filled overnight
event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money
to help the American Cancer Society save lives, help
those who have been touched by cancer, and empower
individuals to fight back against this disease. From May
5 at 6pm until 10am the following morning, teams of people
gathered at Burlington
High School Varsity Field and took turns walking or
running laps. Each team kept at least one team member
on the track at all times. Although the event has
passed we still encourage you to make donations.
Thanks to all who had donated
and made this year event a success.

Saving Lives The American Cancer Society will also continue to exert influence on all levels of government, advocating for stronger policies and enacting legislation that will save lives and conquer cancer.

Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. It is a night for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another
