Relay For Life^®

   of South Windsor/Rockville

$178,872.96 and counting!

This website is still active for donations and will remain active through mid- August. 

Thank you to all of the people who enrolled in the Cancer Prevention Study 3 (CPS-3) at Relay!  164 people from the community and surrounding towns are now a part of a historical study that will help the American Cancer Society to continue to fight cancer by examining different genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that may be linked to cancer. 

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.

This year's event was an astounding success and our total is still climbing!

Your involvement helps the American Cancer Society work toward its mission of eliminating cancer as a major health issue and 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-ACS-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 are interested in serving on the planning committee or volunteering for the Relay next year, please email your ACS Staff Partner, Cathryn Heffernan, at cathryn.heffernan@cancer.org or call her at (203) 379-4884.

Thanks for being a part of the 14th annual Relay For Life of South Windsor/Rockville!
