Volunteers Needed for American Cancer Society Relay For Life in Ramona
By Kris Blaszcak
Walkers, cancer survivors (anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer), community leaders, team captains and hard workers are all needed to make the American Cancer Society Relay For Life a reality in Ramona.
Relay For Life is a unique fund-raising event that allows participants from all walks of life - including patients, medical support staff, corporations, civic organizations, churches and community volunteers - to join together in the fight against cancer. Relay For Life is a team event where participants walk around a track relay-style overnight. Teams of cancer-fighting enthusiasts will gather at Olive Peirce Middle School field on April 26-27, to show their support and dedication. Volunteers from the Ramona and backcountry community are needed for this event.
Relay For Life is as much an awareness raiser about the progress against cancer as it is a fund-raiser. Individuals who are willing to give their time and energy to this event, as a volunteer or participant, have made a commitment to fight back against this disease and let the community know that you can beat cancer.
Volunteers are needed to organize and recruit teams, seek community support, and underwrite, coordinate logistics, find refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment, and lend their support in any way.
If you would like to join the Relay For Life in Ramona as a volunteer or team participant, call Kris Blaszcak, event chair, at 760-207-2215 or Rose Pulera, event co-chair and team development chair at 760-271-2886.
The American Cancer Society is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by saving lives, diminishing suffering and preventing cancer through research, education, advocacy and service. For more information, call 1-800-ACS-2345 or visit www.cancer.org.
