Today we look at our latest Quest grant receiver, The American Cancer Society of Massachusetts. We are honored to partner and help support multiple “Relay For Life” events being held in Massachusetts this year. Come join us as we walk for survivors and patients at one of the many town locations listed in the links below. This is a great way to participate in the nation’s largest cancer fighting movement!

Relay For Life Events in Massachusetts

Start a team! Join a team! Be a sponsor!

Relay For Life is an overnight event that joins communities in the fight against cancer. It is a way to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones, and fight back against a disease that takes too much from too many.

Teams of friends, families, schools, businesses, and organizations raise money for the American Cancer Society, individually and through fun group fundraisers, and then join together at a local track, taking turns walking overnight. Teams set up campsites and enjoy entertainment, activities, and special ceremonies throughout the night.

Cancer survivors and caregivers are the guests of honor and each Relay For Life kicks off with a special recognition of them, followed by an inspirational luminary ceremony.

Join us to see what Relay For Life – the world’s largest cancer-fighting movement – is all about. 1 in 100 Americans Relay. Won’t you?
