Team Acerra
Joining the Northport community's - American Cancer Society - Relay for Life, is our small part in helping celebrate survivors, remember those we have lost, and offer up support to anyone in our community who has been affected. In November 2019 we were personally impacted by Drew's stage 4 cancer diagnosis. A completely unexpected medical moment turned our world upside down and changed the course of how we would live our lives. In the days immediately following the news, we oscillated between moments of disbelief, fear, and strategic medical planning -- to put it bluntly it was utter chaos. However, the unwavering support of our family, friends, community, and medical experts put Drew and our family on a path of great purpose. We made a very conscious choice to lean into the gift of a modern medical action plan, the power of positivity and prayer. For those of you who know Drew well, we truly believe it has been this priceless combination along with his humor, mental strength and zest for life that has seen him and all of us through his medically and mentally darkest days. We are so happy and thankful to share that Drew is doing great, and continues to be closely monitored by his amazing medical team. Please join Team Acerra and help make a difference. "It's game on. So, we are going to wake up every day and play to win." -Drew Acerra

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.
