The American Cancer Society Relay for Life of St. Joseph is holding a meeting for anyone interested in forming a team in the fight against cancer.
The monthly team captain meeting scheduled for April 27th, 2015 at 6:30 pm. The meeting will be held at Northwest Health Services located at 2303 Village Drive in St. Joseph.
The organization said the monthly meeting will provide team captains the opportunity to interact with the event committee, share their fundraising progress, and ask questions they have concerning the event. Team captains will be updated with new information regarding the event and will have the opportunity to share with the group their upcoming team fundraisers.
Team captains are responsible for leading team members who share the same passion for finishing the fight against cancer. Team captains are also responsible for organizing the team’s fundraising efforts and participation in other activities regarding Relay For Life.
Since 1985, Relay For Life has developed from one man running around a track for 24 hours to an international event taking place in more than 6,100 communities and 24 countries.
Relay For Life events are held at an athletic track, park, arena or fairground, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their camp sites at the event.
