2010 Relays For Life
Hello Illinois Jaycees,
The 2010 Relay For Life program is in full swing! Register your team today and start your fundraising efforts!
Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. 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. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.
The United States Junior Chamber is a national partner of the Relay for Life program and each chapter is encouraged to participate in their local Relay.
To register your team and show your Jaycee Pride as a Non Corporate Partner with the American Cancer Society, it is very easy to get started:
