Each year, across the nation, one event brings together entire communities to take part in the fight against cancer. That event is the American Cancer Society Relay For Life®. It’s a time and place where people come to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we’ve lost, and fight back against a disease that touches too many lives.
Won’t you join us this year and be a part of Newington's Relay Event Planning for 2009?
Your involvement will help the American Cancer Society work toward its mission of eliminating cancer as a major health issue and will support much-needed patient services in your community, such as free wigs and rides to treatment, family retreats, classes that teach patients how to cope with appearance-related side effects of treatment, a toll-free hotline people can call anytime of day or night, 365 days a year, to ask questions about cancer (1-800-227-2345), and much more.
Thanks in great part to the donations from Relay For Life and other events, the Society is saving lives, helping those touched by cancer, and empowering people to fight this disease all over the world.
If you want to be a part of the fight against cancer, Sign up today for the Relay For Life of Newington.

”FIGHT BACK” through research! THIS YEAR, selected Relay event(s) in our community are offering the unique opportunity to participate first-hand in a landmark new study, the Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). The American Cancer Society will be enrolling people into CPS-3, a long-term study that will help researchers better identify the lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer. Please spread the word and visit the Cancer Prevention Study-3 website to find an enrollment location near you, and for more information about how to participate in research today for a cancer free tomorrow!
