Walkers, cancer survivors, community leaders, Team Captains, and dedicated workers are all needed to make the 19th annual Relay For Life of North Central CT a success. Relay For Life is an international event to raise funds for the American Cancer Society and raise awareness of the fight against cancer. It is a team event where participants walk around a track relay-style over a 12 hour period. This year’s event, which is scheduled for June 3 at the Suffield Middle School, brings the communities of East Granby, Enfield, Granby, Simsbury, Somers, Suffield, and Windsor Locks together in a common cause.
Volunteers are needed to organize and recruit teams, seek community support, underwrite, coordinate logistics, find refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment, and lend their support in any way. Volunteers are also needed to help out during the day of the event. If you would like to join the Relay For Life of North Central CT as a volunteer or team participant, visit the event website at www.relayforlife.org/northcentralCT or contact Mariah Nolan at Mariah.Nolan@cancer.org.
