Ohio members step up to raise funds for cancer research
ALLIANCE, Ohio, May 2011 - Twenty members of Alliance, Ohio Council 261 took to the track recently at the University of Mount Union for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life event. The team raised nearly $3,000 for cancer research and programs and was one of the event's bronze sponsors - not bad for a first time effort! In total 36 teams of 420 participants raised more than $37,000.
Relay For Life is the main volunteer-driven cancer fundraising event of the American Cancer Society. Originating in the United States, the 24-hour event has spread to 21 countries worldwide, raising billions of dollars each year. Relay events are held in local communities, campus universities, military bases, and even in cyberspace.
Supporting cancer research and programs is one of UCT's priority service projects. Through participation in Relay For Life, members across the U.S. and Canada raise tens of thousands of dollars for cancer research each year
