ACS Relay For Life

Dear Family and Friends, April and I have decided to take action against cancer by participating in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life event right here in my community. Relay For Life is about celebration, remembrance, and hope. By participating, we are honoring cancer survivors, paying tribute to the lives we've lost to the disease, and raising money to help fight it. As many of you may know, we have both lost many family members- I lost both of my grandfathers to liver cancer, and my mother is currently undergoing treatment- the second time in fifteen years- for lymphoma. April lost her grandfather to lymphoma, and her grandmother to cervical cancer, and her grandmother's twin sister is currently undergoing treatment for a tumor in her leg. Cancer has taken the lives, or threatened the lives, of loved ones of all of us. Please help support us in this important cause by making a donation. It is faster and easier than ever to support us by making a secure, tax-deductible donation online using the link below. To donate online now, click here to visit my personal page. Whatever you can give will help - it all adds up! We greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on our progress. Sincerely, Jason & April PS If you would like to mail a donation, please make your check payable to: American Cancer Society Fighting cancer can be easier than you think Especially when you participate in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.

Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar, and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift. Please inquire with your personnel/HR department to complete the paperwork required to get your gift matched. Visit our Matching Gifts page for more information. Fight Back How does the money you raise help fight cancer? In so many ways! The donations you collect enable the American Cancer Society to fund cutting-edge research, provide up-to-date cancer information and education, advocate for all people to have access to critical cancer screenings and follow-up care, and offer free programs to improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
