Read obituaries online at www.sentinel-echo.com. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® is looking for committee members to be a part of the 2012 Relay For Life of Laurel County. The local Realy for Life is scheduled for June. People interested in being a part of a committee will be a part of the community’s biggest effort to fight cancer. Community Relay For Life events support the American Cancer Society’s mission of sav- ing lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures and by fighting back against the disease. Relay For Life events are held overnight as individuals and teams camp out at an athletic track, park or other gathering area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening. Teams do most of their fund- raising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their camp sites during Relay. Relay For Life brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups — people from all walks of life — all aimed at celebrating the lives of those who have had cancer, remember- ing those lost, and fighting back against the disease. Being a part of a committee includes planning and day of event responsibilities. For information about joining the committee or about the event, call 1-800-227-2345 or 606-231-0873 or visit www.relayforlife.org/lau- relky. The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experi- ence to save lives and end suffer- ing from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volun- teers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. To learn more about us or to get help, call us any time, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.
