The American Cancer Society’s 10th Annual Relay For Life of Tri-Town will be held from 3:00 pm on Saturday, June 13 until 8:00 am on Sunday, June 14 at Old Rochester Regional High School in Mattapoisett. The Relay For Life is an event where teams made up of local community members take turns walking around a track. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are an overnight event.
Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their campsites during the Relay.
The dollars raised through Relay For Life events help to fund the American Cancer Society’s vital cancer research, education, advocacy, and patient service programs to defeat this disease.
Last year, our Relay For Life of Tri-Town was able to raise more than $50,000 and included many teams made up of family, friends, cancer survivors, and those passionate in the fight against cancer.
Are you a cancer survivor? We would love to honor you at our Survivors luncheon held on Saturday, June 13 at 1:00 pm at the Old Rochester Regional High School in Mattapoisett. Free entertainment and a free catered lunch by On the Go, which includes a survivors T-shirt and lots of door prizes!! Your caregiver is also welcome. Join us at 3:00 pm for the opening ceremonies where survivors and caregivers kick off the event with the first lap around the track.
Have you lost a loved one to cancer? Come to our beautiful Luminaria ceremony at 9:00 pm on June 13 where we honor the people we have lost during a beautiful candlelight ceremony.
