Relay for Life Looking for Teams

The American Cancer Society is seeking teams for the 5th Annual Relay For Life of Worth County, which will be held July 18th and 19th, 2008 at the Frank B. Matteson, MD Memorial Field . This year's theme is "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity. Let's Go Racin' for a Cure!"
Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society's national signature fundraising activity. Teams of 8 to 15 members gather with tents and sleeping bags to participate in the largest fundraising walk in the nation. Relay For Life unites friends, families, businesses, health care, schools and churches....people from all walks of life. Teams seek sponsorship prior to the Relay, all with the goal of supporting a cure for cancer. It is a fun-filled overnight event that mobilizes communities to Celebrate survivors, Remember loved ones, and raise money for the Fight Back against cancer.
Survivors, loved ones, friends, co-workers, youth groups, civic organizations and the public are invited to take part in this exciting team event. Team registration is currently going on, and you are encouraged to sign up now to qualify for the Early Bird Discount, which expires April 15, 2008. You can still register after that date, but the registration fee goes back to the non-discounted rate.
