The journey to end cancer starts with a single step. The American Cancer Society invites you to take that step with us by joining the global Relay For Life movement. When you walk to end cancer at a Relay event, it's your opportunity to not only honor cancer survivors and remember loved ones lost, but also to raise awareness about what we can do to stay well from cancer and raise money to help fuel the world's largest walk to end cancer. 

All are invited to attend the Relay Rally Events to learn more information about this year's Relay Event.

Our next meeting will be June 18th at 7pm at the Trinity Lutheran Church.

Feel free to attend and invite your friends!

And BANK NIGHT will be June 25th from 5-7pm at Village Bank and Trust!

950 W. Touhy Ave. in Park Ridge
