It's Relay for Life Time

Relay for Life, an ACS fundraiser, is an all night affair! Some people participate for a little while and some stay all night. Lots of donations are raised. Lots of people benefit. Do you?

Do you "RELAY?"

If yes, is there a special reason why you RELAY?  If no, would you like more info so you can make an informed decision about your participation in this event?

The Amercan Cancer Society's Relay for Life events are overnight fun times. Start the night off with a Survivors' dinner and the first lap for survivors. And move on to teams parading around the track... lots of special themes... decorations, campsites, and contests. WOW.

Where does the money go that is raised at Essex Relay? 

Some goes to local hospital center research labs, while most stays local going directly to patient services like free wigs, Reach to Recovery and Look Good - Feel Good programs and many many other programs and services provided by the American Cancer Society!

Will the ESSEX RELAY top $100,000 this time?

Eight teams have already registered and have raised over $5,000 as of Nov 1.

How many more teams can we connect with?  How many more participants are out there?
