Why we Participate in a Relay For Life Event
We participate because we know that by raising funds and walking in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life event, we will help save lives from cancer. we want to make noise and help finish the fight!
It's overwhelming to think that millions of people will be diagnosed with cancer this year. It might be someone close to us - or you or me.
A Relay For Life event is not only a way to join our community to fight back against cancer, but it is also a way to inspire hope by raising funds and cancer awareness to help those facing the disease.
Why we are Participating
IC System has participated in the relay for the last 7 years to recognize and fight back for family, friends, and co-workers that have been affected by cancer. In December of 2014, the IC System Charitable Committee decided that we would make this a major focus as cancer has touch our employees in such a dramatic way. This is our opportunity to honor cancer survivors, remember people we have lost, and help raise funds for the American Cancer Society.
Why We Support the American Cancer Society
Every day, the American Cancer Society helps people take steps to reduce their risk of cancer or find it early, when it is easiest to treat. They provide free information and services to cancer patients throughout their journey. The organization is investing in crucial research to prevent, treat, and ultimately, cure all cancers.
We have committed our time up to walk and fundraise for the White Bear Relay for Life event. We hope you will consider joining our team or making a donation in support of our efforts.
