Come to Relay for Life of North Shore - April 17th meeting

North Shore Relay for Life sets 2013 Fundraising Goal at $200,000!
Please join us at April Team Meeting
Wednesday, April 17th 2013 North Shore High School, Glen Head at 7:00 PM

June 1st-2nd, 2013 marks the 7th annual Relay for Life event at North Shore High School. With the collective efforts of our community members, money is raised for the American Cancer Society to prevent and help cure cancer, all the while bringing families and friends together. Together as a community, North Shore has raised over $600,000 in the last 6 years. It has been the #1 Relay for Life in Nassau County for the past two years and the goal for 2013 is $200,000! There are many fundraising efforts already taking place throughout the community including a Raffle Ticket Contest to win a 50” Toshiba LED TV, a Kayak, or a Kindle Fire.


For the first time, the North Shore Elementary Schools will be playing a role helping to raise funds through the American Cancer Society’s Relay Recess Program.  Relay Recess brings cancer education and community service into the classroom, engaging elementary students in the fight against cancer. The students are excited to be playing an important role in reaching this year’s $200,000 goal!

If you are interested in getting involved in the Relay for Life, please join us on Wednesday, April 17th, 2013 at the North Shore High School in Glen Head at 7:00 PM. Please bring any friends, family, co-workers, or “Relay-ers” past, present and future! This is the time for anyone in the North Shore, Glen Cove and surrounding communities who have been affected by cancer to CELEBRATE the cancer survivors in our lives, REMEMBER those who lost their battle to cancer, and FIGHT BACK as a community against cancer.
Be a part of the single largest fundraiser in the world. May’s Team Meeting will be held on Monday, May 6th.
