Relay For Life Kick off Event - 6 Burlington and Camden County Relay For Life Events

Relay For Life Kick Off event at the Moorestown Mall on February 9th from 11 AM to 1 PM.


Burlington and Camden County
community members will unite at a rally to officially launch their 2013 Relay For Life season. Hundreds of
participants will ring in the new season with a rally that educates everyone on
how their involvement benefits the American Cancer Society’s goal to save lives
and create more birthdays. Money raised will fight cancer by helping people
stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back.  Rally activities will include displays by
each local Relay committee, zumba, luminaria, music, and door prizes. 


The American Cancer Society Relay For Life
is an overnight community celebration where individuals and teams camp out,
picnic, dance, play games and take turns circling around a track “relay” style
to raise funds and fight cancer.  The
event opens as cancer survivors lead the way around the track and are honored with
the Survivor Lap.  As the sun begins to
set, the warm glow of hundreds of luminaria light the field in an emotional silent
ceremony. Each bag lit is in honor of a loved one who won the fight against
cancer or in remembrance of a special someone who lost their battle. The American Cancer Society
Relay For
Life represents hope in that those lost to cancer will not be forgotten,
that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day, cancer will be
eliminated.
