AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY RELAY FOR LIFE 2009
This "Night Vigil" was organized by the American Cancer Society in Astoria Park, N.Y.
The "Relay for Life" lasted all night long, and was accompanied by many other activities. One very special musical group was the "Crossfire Steel Orchestra" directed by Martin Douglas.
"Relay For Life is the signature activity of the American Cancer Society. More than 5,000 events take place nationwide, and now, even around the world in countries like Singapore and Australia. With the help of people like you, Relay For Life has become the largest activity of its kind in the country.
But more than a fundraiser, Relay For Life is:
A cancer survivor event-within-an-event. At every Relay For Life, cancer survivors are honored for their courage and strength by beginning the event with an honorary lap. The individuals are celebrated in various ways from food and t-shirts, to dances and games!..."
