Rally for Relay For Life at AHA

AUBURN – American Cancer Society Relay For Life Kick-Off Rally will be held Wednesday, Jan. 21, at Auburn Housing Authority, Great Falls Plaza. Those attending may choose the time that works best for them: 7 to 9 a.m. or 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Both sessions will feature registration materials (team captain packets), fundraising ideas, photos and testimony from last year’s relay and other ways to get involved. Light refreshments will be served.

Relay For Life Event Co-Chairwoman Jennifer Gendron has invited everyone to join her in making the relay one to remember. “Relay is such a unique and inspiring event – it is fun to plan and even more fun to attend with non-stop activity from beginning to end,”she said.

For more information or to RSVP for the kick-off, contact Gendron at 689-2919 or e-mail [email protected].

The Relay For Life in Androscoggin County is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, June 12 and 13, at Edward Little High School track. Anyone interested in joining the planning committee, becoming a team captain, volunteering or finding out more about Relay For Life is encouraged to attend the rally.

Relay teams representing families, clubs, religious organizations, neighborhoods and corporations will join the race to beat cancer by celebrating survivorship and taking turns walking around the track.

Last year Relay For Life of Androscoggin in Auburn raised more than $80,000 toward the fight against cancer. Visit the official fundraising Web site at http://www.relayforlife.org/androscogginme for more information.
