I’m a little late on posting this. Another successful Valentine Plunge event. With 4 yrs under our belt the mission of the Joan Dancy and PALS Foundation has helped many people suffering from the disease ALS. The plunge event has brought great awareness to the community about this disease and raises funds to help support local individuals suffering with this illness.

Relay for Life, American Cancer Society Fundraiser

I had the honor of being a part of the largest fundraising event in the country. Recently in Point Pleasant NJ hundreds of participants took part in a fundraiser supporting the American Cancer Society.

Team Hope

What is the relay for life?

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length.

Relay began in 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, Washington, ran and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Since then, Relay has grown from a single man’s passion to fight cancer into the world’s largest movement to end the disease. Each year, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the United States, along with additional communities in 20 other countries, gather to take part in this global phenomenon and raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Thanks to Relay participants, the American Cancer Society continues to save lives.
