The Yuma County Relay for Life is at 23.40% its goal for 2009. If you would like to help you can do so by making a donation online, buying a luminaria, or sponsor a team. There are so many ways to help, and it is a fact that everyone will be affected by cancer in their lifetime. Statistics show that 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed.
There are 21teams signed up online, but the committee is pretty confident stating that it has 23 confirmed teams. We are working towards a goal of 25. Thank you to all of those that have already committed and if you are wondering how you can form a team please get ahold of Toni Harper our Team Development Chairperson at 848-2685or email Toni @ tharpper@centurytel.net or Tracy Collins @ 970-313-8901 or email @ tcollins@yumahospital.org.

This year marks the beginning of our celebration of 25 years of Relay For Life®. Sign up or donate today and join us to mark this milestone and the successes we’ve achieved together during the last 25 years.
Between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009, Relay For Life® communities nationwide are hosting special “Show Us Your HOPE” activities that visually depict the passion Relayers have for the fight against cancer. Ideally, these activities are separate from Relay For Life® events and demonstrate how the American Cancer Society in our community celebrates survivors, remembers loved ones lost and fights back against cancer through Relay For Life®.
