The American Cancer Society's Coconut Grove Relay For Life has been changed to a Cancer Awareness Day instead.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) and Shake-A-Leg Miami are presenting a Cancer Awareness Day at Shake-A-Leg Miami on Saturday, June 9, from 4 to 9 pm. The goal is to raise money for the ACS while enjoying live music by Mireya & Tony Medina.
There will also be a Chinese auction of various items donated by local businesses. Proceeds from the auction, will raise money for the ACS programs and services, including Road To Recovery, whereby cancer patients are driven to and from treatment; Reach To Recovery, a personal outreach from a breast cancer survivor to a newly diagnosed patient; the Resource Center in the Doral office where patients undergoing chemo can obtain wigs, scarves, temporary breast prostheses and bras at no-charge.
So this is not an all nighter group event, as the Relay For Life usually is, this is a family day of events. Anyone wishing to become a sponsor for this event, should call Janey Mayville, American Cancer Society Staff Partner, at 305.779.2843 or janey.mayville@cancer.org.
Shake-A-Leg is located at 2620 S. Bayshore Drive.
