You Tube Video of Relay For Life The American Cancer Society (ACS) is inviting Roosevelt Island residents to organize and participate in a Relay For Life on Roosevelt Island. The ACS will be hosting meetings on September 25 and October 24 to explain what is involved in organizing a Relay For Life and to determine if there are volunteers willing to participate. A Relay For Life is:
- Organized, overnight community fundraising walk
- Teams of people camp out around a track
- Members of each team take turns walking around the track
- Food, games and activities provide entertainment and build camraderie
- Family-friendly environment for the entire community
Because its a team event, individual participants are not required to be there the entire time. But it’s so much fun, you’ll find it hard to leave!
According to the ACS:
