The American Cancer Society's (ACS) Relay For Life is at La Salle High School this year on May 12-13. Teams are forming from local companies, businesses, schools, churches, hospitals and clubs. During the 2011 fiscal year, the Miami Dade Community raised an estimated $1.5 million towards the fight against cancer and they would love to do it again this year.
Relay For Life is ACS's overnight community event where teams form, raise money and walk throughout the night. They camp out on site while enjoying a DJ, entertainment, food, fun and camaraderie. Cancer Survivors are the shining stars of Relay For Life, their courage is celebrated.
The Candle Lighting Luminaria Ceremony is the highlight of Relay, as hundreds of candles will encircle the walking track, each one purchased in honor or in memory of a loved one who has battled cancer.
You can make a difference by joining of forming a team, call ACS at 305-779-2843 or visit www.RelayForLife.org/CoconutGroveFL. You can also email Carmen Mallea, the event chair at mall9225@yahoo.com
