Submitted by Canton1 on

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Van Zandt County leadership team is hosting a meeting at 6: 30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25, at the American National Bank meeting room to share with residents the importance of Relay For Life in the fight against cancer.

Relay For Life is the signature event of the American Cancer Society. It is a fun-filled overnight event that mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones, and empower others to fight back against a disease that takes too much.

“The American Cancer Society Relay For Life raises awareness about the progress against cancer while also raising funds to fight the disease,” said MaryEllen Miller, event lead. “Relay For Life doesn’t focus on just one type of cancer. The purple ribbon of Relay For Life represents all the ‘colors of cancer.’ Individuals who are willing to give their time and energy to this exciting event, as a volunteer or participant, have made a commitment to fight back against cancer and let the community know that cancer can be beat.”
