Help Combat Cancer

The Colleges Against Cancer Committee, part of the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, has announced a $20,000 goal. Economic circumstances are difficult… However, this is noblest of noble causes… Gossip CBUS will be donating… You should donate also… Below is the personal request I received from one of the CACC’s members…

As most of you know, I have been involved with Relay for Life for the past 3 years, helping to raise money for the American Cancer Society for cancer research and awareness. This year I have pledged to raise 1,000 dollars and I have a long way to go to reach my goal!

This year, hundreds of thousands of people will hear the words "You have cancer", and there's a good chance that some of them will be people we know and love. We have all been touched by cancer in some way ... and we all have the power to make a difference. That's why I have chosen to fight back right here in my own community by participating in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.

I want to invite you to join me in the fight against cancer by making a donation in support of my efforts. Further down in this message is a link to my personal Relay For Life® web page where you can make an online contribution. Every amount, no matter how small, makes a difference and provides hope. You can also sign up to join my team and learn more about Relay and how it's changing lives.

Relay For Life brings more than 3.5 million people from across the country together each year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much. This fun-filled, overnight event empowers everyone to help fight cancer by raising money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society's lifesaving mission. Thank you in advance for your support. Together, we will celebrate, remember, and fight back.
