American Cancer Society's Relay For Life/Mission Viejo Team Meeting/Workshop.

One way to join the fight against cancer in your community is to take part in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life of Mission Viejo. Relay is a unique, 24-hour, event celebrating cancer survivors and honoring those who have lost their lives. It takes place at Saddleback College, 28000 Marguerite Pkwy, MV, 92691 on June 6 from 9 am to June 7, 2015 at 9 am.

We would like your group to form a team and join us. How can you get involved? You can form a team; join a team or just volunteer to help. Now is a good time to start requesting your colleagues, family and friends to join your team. If forming your own team is not an option Relay invites you to join a team by registering online at www.mvrelay.org.

Teams walk on the track and they are committed to creating awareness. They raise money in the fight against cancer. Join in the party atmosphere! Pitch a tent, camp-out, eat, feast, play games and entertainment.

Because Relay is a team event, individuals aren’t required to be there the entire time, but it’s so much fun you will get caught up in the party atmosphere and want to stay. The day is packed with entertainment- music, Kids zone, onsite fundraisers, fight back messages, etc.

You don’t need to be a runner. The common thread is to have team members’ continuously walking, running or rolling around the track for 24 hours to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we have lost to the disease and to empower everyone to fight back against cancer.

Relay is a healing experience for those fighting cancer. It offers them a chance to meet others who have claimed victory over cancer. This is a great, free family event for the community, but it wouldn’t be possible without the teams.

On Thursday, March 19, 2015 at 6:30 pm at the Mission Viejo City Hall Council Chamber, 200 Civic Center Dr., Mission Viejo, 92692 there is a Team Workshop.

At the workshop they can assist you and give you directions in forming a team or joining a team. It only takes five or more people to form your own team. Be clever and you create your own team name.
