Remembering Those With Cancer This Holiday Season

When the American Cancer Society Relay For Life started over 20 years ago, one of the reasons given to explain why it was an overnight event was that "cancer patients don't get the night off from cancer, so why should we?". How true.

Well, those that we know who are battling cancer don't get time off for the holidays either. So one great way many Relay For Life participants honor survivors during the holidays is by turning their holiday letter into something more - a request for donations for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.

I know several folks who request donations in lieu of a holiday gift - what great volunteers we have! And these holiday letters can be a great way to jumpstart fundraising - these folks raise thousands of dollars with their holiday letter alone!

If you'd like to see examples of fundraising letters, please visit the following link: acsrelay.org Fundraising Letters and scroll down to the fundraising letters.

Happy Holidays!
