Relay For Life of South Naperville Hosting Kick-off April 29 at Library

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of South Naperville will hold its annual Kick-off event on Monday, April 29 at 6:30 pm at Naperville 95th Street Library (3015 Cedar Glade Dr., Naperville). Friends, neighbors, cancer survivors, caregivers and anyone interested in learning more about Relay For Life are encouraged to attend.

The Kick-off event offers information about the American Cancer Society’s mission of saving lives faster by helping people stay well, helping people get well, finding cures and fighting back. Free refreshments will be served, and guests will have the opportunity to win prizes and learn more about the exciting activities planned for this year’s Relay For Life.

Relay For Life is an overnight event where teams of local businesses, schools, faith communities, community groups and families build awareness and raise funds - prior to and at the event - to fight cancer. While the main objective of Relay For Life is to raise money for cancer research and cancer patients, the event celebrates the lives of survivors, remembers those who lost their lives to cancer and unites communities to fight back against cancer.

This year’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life of South Naperville will be held June 7 at Neuqua Valley High School. Volunteers are needed to organize and recruit teams, secure community support, coordinate logistics, obtain refreshments and prizes, assist with publicity and plan entertainment activities for this exciting and energizing event. 

For more information on the Relay For Life Kick-off celebration, contact Jamie Staab at the American Cancer Society at 630-932-1141 or visit Relayforlife.org/southnapervilleil. Teams may register on-line anytime.
