Every year, the American Cancer Society runs a fundraiser called Relay For Life which consists of a walk-a-thon and all day fundraiser to raise money for cancer. This year, (my very first year) I have decided to participate in the Brooklyn/Dyker Heights relay as a team captain. This particular event is somewhat substantial to me because it is the very first time I will be partaking in something so amazing and rewarding. Ever since I finished my treatments, I have always wanted to give something back for my survival and I feel that this event really does it justice and only entices me to do more! If you’ll notice, on the side of my page I have linked the site to my Relay teams page to either donate or join. The event will be held June 19th at the Ft.Hamilton football field In Brooklyn, NY. So far my team has raised somewhere around $555 and that is only through the internet!
If anyone is interested in donating or walking with my team and I, it would be most appreciated! If you feel that you do not want to join and just donate, that would be fine as well! Also, I am looking into a fundraising happy hour event within the next few weeks. Im still in the process of putting that together, but I will keep you all informed about time and place information. My team name is Team NYC when you search for a name or you can just put in my full name which is Jennifer Adamo. Any donations would be so helpful. All funds go directly to the American Cancer Foundation by the way so no one else will be receiving any particular amount you decide to donate, its purely for the cause! Again, the link is on the side of this page, so click away guys… : )
I participated and did a lot with Relay for Life while I was in high school. Unfortunately since I graduated I’ve been removed from the event. Thanks for the info! Maybe this could be the year I get back into it.
Let me know when and where! . . I’ll be there! . . . :o) . . . I am so glad you posted about “Relay,” so many people do not realize all of the different fundraisers out there to help with cancer treatment and technology!. . .Thank You Jen :oP
