Working for the American Cancer Society, it’s hard not to get wrapped up in the fundraising culture.

Our most successful event is called Relay for Life. Relay is a 24 hour event thrown in most communities. In fact, there were more RFLs last year than McDonalds in America. Relay for Life is focused on honoring cancer patients and survivors, and is a great way to make an impact locally.

Relay for Life generates a lot of our revenue, enabling our cancer survivor programs, cancer research, and Hope Lodges. I’m active as a team member raising money for a Relay in Birmingham, Alabama called Metro Birmingham Relay for Life. Please take a second to visit my donation page online.

I’m also the Online Chair for this event, meaning I’m in charge of making sure our online registration is smooth, and I help promote the event through websites and emails. If you are interested in joining this fundraising effort, send me an email.
