Relay For Life of West County- Help Finish the Fight Against Cancer

EVENT NAME:

American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West County

WHAT:

The American Cancer Society is determined to make this cancer’s last century. You can help by participating in Relay For Life of West County. This inspiring overnight event unites the entire community in celebrating those who have battled cancer, remembering loved ones lost, and providing an opportunity to fight back against the disease. Relay For Life supports the Society’s mission to save lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures and by fighting back.

The idea is to enjoy your time, dance, play games, and enjoy the presence of others all while raising money to finish the fight, and provide services to cancer patients and their families.  One of the many highlights of the event is the luminaria ceremony, or candlelight vigil, held at nightfall to honor cancer survivors, caregivers, and to remember those lost to cancer. 

This event is therapy for the mind, spirit, and the heart.  Since 1985, Relay For Life has spread to more than 6,100 communities in the U.S. and has become a worldwide movement, taking place in more than 20 countries.
