Relay For Life^® of

Gtr Taunton

Thanks to everyone for making this a great Relay!!

So far we have raised over $170,000. 

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.

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 Gtr Taunton.

FIGHT BACK through research! THIS YEAR ONLY, our Relay event will offer 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 for more information about how to participate in research today for a cancer free tomorrow!  Please check out the link in the left hand side of the page and see what this is about.  Or you can email our American Cancer Society Staff Partner, Robin A. Akers at robin.a.akers@cancer.org to see where enrollment will take place.  You can also email our CPS3 Chair, Paula Perkins at plperkins2@gmail.com
