Relay for Life- AJS Team "Change"
Whether it's a friend, a family member, or the neighbor down the street, we all know someone who has been touched by cancer. Many of us are concerned about this disease and want to do something to make a difference. That's why AJS has decided to take part in the American Cancer Society Relay For LifeĻ . It's an event that brings together the whole community and helps raise funds for the fight against this disease. We know you care about cancer, too, and we'd love for you to join us as part of our Relay team.
At the event, we'll camp out overnight, walk around the track, and meet lots of new people. There is an incredible tribute to cancer survivors and caregivers that starts off the night and a moving ceremony honoring those who have fought the disease. It's a night full of fun, hope, and remembrance.
You can get more information about Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society by clicking the link http://events.cancer.org/RFLmiamiuOH. Won't you join me in this fight?
Join us or make a donation to our team and help us support the fight against cancer!
