Relay and the All-Stars
Relay 2024 is coming up very quickly! Relay for Life is the top fundraising activity for the American Cancer Society (ACS). This is the 39th year for Relay!! Howard County Relay for Life is in its 29th year. We want to continue this tradition and help raise money for Cancer research, awareness, and advocacy. Our team 86, the All-Stars started out as a Meijer team with corporate sponsorship shortly after Relay came to Howard County. We're still mainly made up of Meijer team members and their families, but Meijer now donates a lump sum ($250,000) directly to ACS, and it's distributed among all of the counties that have Meijer stores. The All-Stars have had several team captains. Your current Captain (Jen) and Co-captain (Julie) started out as just team members in 2003, making this their 22nd Relay. Jen was co-captain in 2007 and became captain in 2008 making Julie her co-captain. Each of us have our own reason(s) for caring about the fight against Cancer, but it seems that we all know someone personally who's battled this disease. Relay for Life is about so much more than just walking around a track overnight. Relay is about CELEBRATing loved ones who have won their battle with cancer, REMEMBERing those who are no longer with us, supporting those who are fighting now, and raising money and awareness to FIGHT BACK against this disease that has taken so much from so many. Together, we are saving lives & "creating a world with more birthdays"!!
Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.

Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.
Since 1991 we have invested $3.43 billion in cancer research.
We have received over 360,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2023.
Cancer patients benefited from the ACS transportation support through our Road To Recovery program and transportation grants in 2023, with nearly 769,000 rides provided.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.

This isn’t what I wanted.
Cancer has touched all of us in some way. And we want to stop this disease in its tracks. We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society. Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.
Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
