RELAY FOR LIFE GRAND ISLAND  

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY

 

Thank you for considering sponsorship of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life scheduled for June 9 - June 10 at Grand Island High School.  Locally, this will be the fifth annual Relay For Life in the Grand Island community.  We anticipate 80 teams with over 1,000 participants, cancer survivors, and community supporters coming together to achieve victory over cancer. 

Relay For Life is an overnight celebration of hope, progress and answers.  In honor of the 8.5 million Americans who have survived cancer, dedicated teams of friends, families and co-workers raise funds to support the fight.    The funds raised at the Relay For Life event support the American Cancer Society’s ambitious goals for the year 2015 - preventing almost five million additional deaths from cancer, avoiding six million new cancer diagnoses, and measurably improving the quality of life for those with the disease.

The money raised has played a key role in the American Cancer Society accomplishments such as: 

·         Awarding more than $2.4 billion in grants for promising research 

·         Funding 38 Nobel Prize winning researchers 

·         Investing in studies that led to discoveries like the Pap Smear, bone marrow transplant, Tamoxifen, and Gleevec

    ·         Supplying valuable resources to anyone, anytime, through our toll-free information line at 1-800-ACS-2345 and Web site www.cancer.org 

·         Working with legislators to make sure cancer issues are addressed in a timely manner with the attention and funding they need 

·         Campaigning for important legislative victories like the Breast Cancer and Cervical Cancer Treatment Act and expanded Medicare benefits for cancer screenings 

·         Offering patients support and a network of other cancer survivors in their communities through programs like Man to Man and Reach to Recovery

·         Providing tools and programs, such as Look Good…Feel Better, for patients and survivors dealing with the physical effects of the disease

Cancer touches all of us in some way.  I hope you will become a partner in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life and stand shoulder to shoulder with us in the fight against cancer on June 8 – June 9, 2007.  Thank you for your consideration.

 

Sincerely, 

Donna Elia Tomkins
