2016 Relay For Life of Graham County, Arizona

2016 Relay For Life of Graham County, Arizona At Relay For Life events, teams of
people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around
a track or path.

Company overview:
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in
communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer,
remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the
event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relay For Life e

vents are overnight events up to 24 hours in
length. Relay For Life began in 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma,Washington, ran
and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Since then,
Relay For Life has grown from a singleman’s passion to fight cancer into the world’s largest
movement to end the disease. Each year,more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the
United States, along with communities in 20 other countries, gather to take part in this global
phenomenon and raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Thanks to
Relay participants, the American Cancer Society continues to save lives.

Hello Safford! I wanted to invite you all to our Event Leadership Team meeting tomorrow, 11/10, at the Health Depth Annex.

We have exciting news to share. We also need to decide on the time frame we want to run Relay for, move it from a 12 hour event to a 6 hour event, what theme we want, and our next steps in the planning process.

Relay For Life is a community owned, volunteer ran, staff supported event. That means Relay needs you! So come join in the fight against cancer!

SAFFORD — The Relay For Life team is calling on everyone to go through their closets to find their widest bell-bottom pants, their best-looking poodle skirt or that zoot suit passed down from grandpa.
