Volunteers are the heart and soul of ACS and are critical to our success at every level. By joining the Relay For Life movement, volunteers help us save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer. Relay For Life continues to be the largest peer-to-peer fundraising event with 2.5 million participants globally uniting to save lives from cancer.

A meeting will be held for interested community members on November 14, 2019 at 7:30 pm at Success County Community College room A208.
