Annual Relay for Life slated June 1-2 at Shelton Riverwalk

SHELTON - The American Cancer Society is calling on all Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Derby, Naugatuck, Oxford, Seymour, and Shelton residents to participate in the annual Relay For Life of the Naugatuck Valley June 1-2, from 2 p.m. Saturday to 7 a.m. Sunday at the Riverwalk, 118 Canal St. 

The Relay For Life movement is the world’s largest fundraising event to save lives from cancer.
Uniting communities across the globe, the event celebrates people who have battled cancer, remembers loved ones lost, and takes action by raising funds for cancer research, as well as programs and services for cancer patients.

This event is open to all and is family-friendly. Teams and participants are invited to sign up any time leading up to the event. 
Relay For Life brings the community together, embracing their collective power to free the world from the pain and suffering of cancer. 

“Every passionate step taken demonstrates courage and strength,” says Grace Scinto, Senior Community Development Manager. “Together, we are bigger than cancer, and funds raised by local teams help the American Cancer Society bring cancer to its knees.”

Funds raised help the American Cancer Society provide free information and support for people facing the disease today, and fund cancer research that will help protect future generations. 

For more information, contact the Co-Event Chair Ashely Daston at ashleynvrfl@gmail.com, or our ACS Staff Partner Grace Scinto at grace.scinto@cancer.org or by calling 203-563-1520.
