As event chair of this year’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life committee, I would like to thank in advance residents of Androscoggin County for their generosity and support. This is the17th year we have held a Relay for Life event in our community. What started as one doctor in Tacoma,Washington making his pledge to fight back against this disease, has evolved into an event that spans more than 5000 communities in the U.S. and nineteen other countries.
This year we are excited for the continued growth of our event. We expect over 50 teams to participate in this year’s event and hope to raise more than $85,000 to help the Society’s fight for every birthday, threatened by every cancer, here and throughout the world. The residents of Androscoggin County have shown continued support for this misson despite the troubled economic times we have undergone in the past two years. I am proud to say we still raised more at our Relay last year than we have at any previous event!
I would also like to thank our dedicated committee who have through their hard work helped bring our event together. The following are our 2010 committee members: Jennifer Gendron, Sue Stimpson, Mark Fortier, Diane Braley, Dawn Gordon, Janet Miles, Belinda Samson, Jennifer Berry, Jeannine Levesque, Leo Levesque, Jeff Carleton, Keith Pray and our American Cancer Society Staff Partners Allan Rowe and Mac Watts. In addition I thank all the dedicated team captains who have been out raising money and recruiting new team members over the past few months.Your commitment and drive is the heart of our event.
We appreciate the generosity and support of our event sponsors whom without their help this event would not be possible. The following are this year’s corporate sponsors: Hannaford, Sea-vu Campground, Community Credit Union, Uncle Andy’s Digest, Kennebec Equipment, Chapman Trucking, Tim Hortons, Northeast Bank, Mechanics Savings Bank, Poland Spring, Sun Journal, and our media sponsors WOXO, Fox23, and WEQX.

Sincerely,
