UPDATE 8/13/10: The Blazers have helped raise $106,660.61 for 2010 Relay For Life! But there's still much more work to do. Read below to see how you can help!
Dear Friends,
This year, the Blazers are helping save lives from cancer by taking
part in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, and we are asking you
to help!!
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that
gives people across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who
have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the
disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park,
or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path.
Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times
during the event, because cancer never sleeps.
Relay For Life helps raise much-needed funds and awareness to help the
American Cancer Society save lives from cancer and create more birthdays.
Please support our efforts by visiting the personal
web page to make a secure, tax-deductible online donation.
Every donation really does make a difference. We know that times
are tighter than normal for many of us, but any amount you can give truly
can help save lives.
You see, thanks to your support, the American Cancer Society can:
- Help people stay
well by helping them take steps to prevent cancer or
detect it early, when it’s most treatable
- Help people get
well by being in their corner around the clock to
guide them through every step of their cancer experience
- Find cures
by funding groundbreaking research that helps us understand cancer’s
causes, determine how best to prevent it, and discover new ways to
cure it
- Fight back
by working with lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and rally communities
worldwide to join the fight
Each of us has our own reasons for caring about the fight against cancer
… whatever your reasons, we hope you’ll choose to make a difference by
making a donation online to support our efforts. We are so
grateful to have great people like you who want to see an end to cancer in
our lifetime. Together we can save
lives.
Thank you, and we will keep you updated on our progress.
