Relay for Life Portage County

Mothers. Fathers. Brothers. Sisters. Grandparents. Uncles and aunts. Friends. Coworkers. Cancer affects the lives of so many people close to us. In fact, 1.6 million people in the US will be newly diagnosed with cancer this year alone.
 
It is a staggering statistic. But there is hope.
 
This year, more than 300 people in Portage County will come together to fight back against cancer through the American Cancer Society Relay For Life movement, the world’s largest and most impactful fundraising event to end cancer. Dollars raised help the American Cancer Society save lives by supporting education and prevention efforts, funding groundbreaking cancer research, and providing free information and services for people with cancer who need them.
 
As a vital member of our community, we would love for you to join our Relay For Life event. We have so many options for involvement that we would love to share them with you.

You can find them listed below along with our upcoming event information. If there’s something that peaks your interest and you would like more information about, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Portage County Relay Event Director, Stephanie Stankiewicz at ssfires@aol.com, or American Cancer Society Staff Partner, Ayla Zerbe.
