CLARKSVILLE,Tenn.- The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® campaign will officially get underway on Tuesday, October 13 at 6 p.m.
Event volunteers and participants gather at the Hilldale Baptist Family Life Center for a kickoff rally to launch their fundraising efforts for the year.
The rally will feature speakers from the community who have benefited from funds raised at Relay and honor cancer survivors. There will also be recognition for this past year’s participating teams and their contributions toward this effort. This year’s campaign theme will also be unveiled at the rally.
Registration is open for teams interested in participating in this year’s campaign. The event is to be held on May 12, 2016. All teams registered by Monday, October 12, 2015 will receive a special prize at the kickoff event, and individuals present will be eligible to participate in drawings for special door prizes.
Relay For Life provides support for all forms of cancer; however, with this year’s campaign launch of its “Hope Lives Here” campaign the focus will be breast cancer. “Hope Lives Here” is part of the Paint Tennessee Pink effort to address Breast Cancer Awareness. This campaign is to help promote awareness of the prevention, research and treatment as well as survival of breast cancer that affects men and women globally.
These promotional signs may be purchased at $20.00 each, and all funds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
