Help us Finish The Fight Against Cancer!

The Relay For Life of Coventry is celebrating its 9th year of supporting those with cancer and fighting back against the disease on June 24 at the Coventry High School track. We are looking for teams of students, friends, coworkers, church groups, families to join us for this community fundraiser! All are welcome. There will be entertainment, an opening celebration of survivors and caregivers, and remembrance of loved ones lost. This overnight event starts at 4:00pm and ends at 9:00 am. It's held overnight because "cancer never sleeps". Volunteers are needed on our planning committee as well to help us bring the best event possible to our community!

WHAT HAPPENS AT A RELAY EVENT?

Relay For Life events are community gatherings where teams and individuals camp out at a school, park, or
fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Fundraising before and during the event
helps fuel the fight, and entertainment and activities keep things fun and lively!

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life movement is the world’s largest fundraising event to fight every cancer
in every community. Each year, more than 4 million Relay For Life participants around the world rally communities to celebrate those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action to fight back.

DOLLARS RAISED ARE MAKING AN IMPACT.
The Relay For Life movement fuels the mission of the American Cancer Society, an organization that touches
the lives of so many. Last year, Relay For Life participants and supporters helped to raise more than $400 million
for the American Cancer Society. Funds raised enable the Society to:

• help people facing the disease today by providing free information, help, and support
• provide rides to treatment
• offer free lodging to patients and their caregiver at the Hope Lodge to be near treatment
• educate people about how to reduce their risk for cancer or detect it early, when it’s easiest to treat
• fund cancer research that will help protect future generations
• fight back through public policy in partnership with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, the Society’s nonpartisan advocacy affiliate
