Relay for Life Wilmington Volunteers Needed

The American Cancer Society is seeking volunteers in Wilmington and Tewksbury to be a part of the annual Relay For Life event scheduled for June 17, 2016 (tentatively).

Community volunteers lead and organize each local event with the support of Society staff. From assisting with planning the annual event to taking part the day-of, there are various volunteer opportunities for interested community members.

A meeting will be held for interested community members on Monday, September 14 at 6:30 p.m. at Wilmington Memorial Library in the Banda Room, 175 Middlesex Ave, Wilmington.

The Relay For Life program is a community-based event where teams and individuals camp out at a school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team has at least one participant on the track at all times and participates in raising funds to support the American Cancer Society’s mission to finish the fight against cancer. Four million people participated in more than 6,000 events worldwide last year.

“The Relay For Life movement is all about our community uniting to finish the fight against cancer,” said Julie Rauseo, Community Manager Relay For Life. “We rely on the support of volunteers to help make the Wilmington event a success and we look forward to an amazing year in 2016.”
