(Jerseyville, IL � January 7, 2008) � Walkers, cancer survivors (anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer), community leaders, team captains and hard workers are all still needed to make the American Cancer Society Relay For Life a reality in Jersey County. The second volunteer committee meeting for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life will be held on Tuesday, January 14 at 6 p.m. at the United Methodist Church in Jerseyville to continue planning the event designed to raise funds and awareness of the fight against cancer throughout Jersey County.
Participants from all walks of life � including patients, medical support staff, corporations, civic organizations, churches and community volunteers � join together in the fight against cancer. Relay For Life is a team event where participants walk around a track relay style overnight. Teams of cancer fighting enthusiasts will gather at the Snyders Sports Complex at Illini Middle School in Jerseyville on May 30, 2008 to show their support and dedication.
Volunteers from the Jersey County area are still needed to continue planning now for this event. They are needed to organize and recruit teams, seek community support and underwrite, coordinate logistics, find refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment, and lend their support in any way.
