My Event Announcements
We are trying to raise the amount of our online donations. Please consider giving to one of our teams or to the whole event. Every donation makes a difference, even if it's just a few dollars.
Also, a couple of our teams are holding fundraisers already. Check out the Event Announcements and Fundraisers and Activities pages for information on those.

Team leaders are the heart and soul of Relay For Life!  You don't have to have any special background to form a team.  Here's step by step information on how you can form a Relay team and what you would do for the event if you had a team:
1-Get together a group of people you know who would like to help out a great cause.  You must then register the team right on this website or by calling (570) 562-9749.

2-If you form a team, you would then get the word out about Relay and ask for donations from people you know by talking to them face to face, or through phone calls, letters, e-mails, and social media, like Facebook and Twitter.

3-You can also raise money for Relay by holding fundraisers, like Bingo Night, Skate Night, Zumba Class, and a golf event.

4-Finally, if you do have a team, get ready to have a fun and amazing 24 hours at the main Relay event, which is a culmination of all the teams' efforts.  You will be camping out and walking along with a numbers of other teams from all over the community, all while raising awareness of the wonderful work The American Cancer Society does.  There's also a lot of activities and moving ceremonies at the event.

FIGHT BACK through research!

This year, select Relay events 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 for more information about how to participate in research today for a cancer free tomorrow.
