With only two weeks left the American Cancer Society is still asking for recruits for its annual Relay for Life in St. Joseph.
The event will take place on June 4th at Frederick Boulevard Baptist Church, 5502 Frederick Ave.
Trey Drowns, a volunteer with Relay For Life said teams are committed to help save more lives from cancer by raising funds for the Society. Teams and individuals can learn more and sign up for the Relay For Life event by visiting relayforlife.org.
The Relay For Life movement is touted as the world’s largest fundraising event to fight every cancer in every community, with four million participants in 6,000 events worldwide in 2015.
Last year, more than 300 people participated in the Relay For Life of Saint Joseph and raised more than $32,000.
“Relay For Life is a chance to make the greatest impact in the fight to end cancer,” Drowns said. “Many participants are our loved ones who have faced cancer themselves. Each new team brings us one step closer to saving more lives.”
