Help my Relay for Life team fundraise for the American Cancer Society!
I have joined and will be helping captain a Relay for Life team for this year's event that is the main fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.
Relay for Life is put on by the non-profit organization, American Cancer Society. It is their main fundraising event that helps them get all their money to provide free and high quality services to cancer patients and loved ones. It's an amazing feat to provide free care and services, and I definitely want to help them out.
Last year I volunteered at the Relay for Life based in the city of Camarillo, CA. The event touched my heart, and ever since I've decided to really do my best to volunteer and help raise money. Check out my photos to see what it's like, and even read about some cancer survivors and family members who are surviving their lost loved ones.
And no, that wasn't just a shameless plug to my photos, I just wanted you guys to see what it looks like and the emotion and importance of the event. =P
Anyway, this year I decided to help captain a relay team (ARME of Hope, ask me what it means) to help fundraise on top of just volunteering my time. I have friends like yourself (believe it or not) that I hope would also be interested in joining or helping out with donations.
I believe donating with time is the best way to do it, but as usual, funds always plays a big role. Please join in the fight against cancer, by donating some volunteered time and or some money donation for the American Cancer Society!
By the way, thanks for reading this all the way through! This fundraiser and event is for a great cause, and I believe in the goals tremendously.
