The American Cancer Society seeks volunteers in Northern Wake County to be a part of the annual Relay For Life Leadership Team. To learn more, visit the Relay booth at the Wake Forest Chamber Business Expo on Thursday, Oct. 29, from 3 to 7 p.m. at Richland Creek Community Church. Local volunteers and ACS staff will be there to answer questions and provide details on joining the fight against cancer.
Community volunteers lead and organize each event with the support of ACS staff. From assisting with planning the annual event to taking part the day-of, there are various volunteer opportunities for interested community members.
The Relay For Life program is a community-based event where teams and individuals camp out at a school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team has at least one participant on the track at all times and participates in raising funds to support the American Cancer Society’s mission to finish the fight against cancer. Four million people participated in more than 6,000 events worldwide last year.
“The Relay For Life movement is all about our community uniting to finish the fight against cancer,” said Relay chair Mary Beth Roberson. “We rely on the support of volunteers to help make the Northern Wake County event a success.”
If you would like to join the Relay For Life of Northern Wake County as a volunteer or team participant, go online to relayforlife.org or call 919-334-5228.
