Every year, since 1875, on the first Saturday in May hundreds of
thousands of people from all over the world gather in Louisville,
Kentucky to witness the “greatest two minutes in sports!” In the South,
the Kentucky Derby is not just a horse race; the presentation of
pageantry that takes place on this day is warranted by no other sporting
event in the world. On Saturday, May 3, 2008 your American Cancer
Society will bring this memorable celebration closer to home in an effort
to emphasize the ‘fun’ in fundraising. We are inviting distinguished
guests throughout Hudson County to join us for a day filled with great
food, charitable betting, valuable prizes and best of all, southern
hospitality.
Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature overnight
activity. This event celebrates the lives of cancer survivors, remembers
those who have lost their battle, and gives a community an opportunity
to fight cancer and raise funds collectively. Relay For Life takes place in
many communities throughout the Spring and Summer across Essex,
Hudson and Union counties. Teams of people camp out at a local high
school, park or fairground and take turns walking or running around a
track or path. Relay For Life brings together millions of people from all
walks of life- friends, family, coworkers, caregivers- all with the common
goal of eliminating cancer. Relay For Life represents the hope that those
lives lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer
will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a noncompetitive walk to raise
awareness and funds to fight breast cancer. The average walk is three
miles long and people of all ages are welcome. The success of Making
Strides depends on you!
