Paint the Town Purple Week is a time to celebrate and have some fun with the color purple to bring attention

to the American Cancer Society's mission and many programs in our community.

Paint the Town Purple Week will take place May 19th-26th, where our community will participate and show off our Relay Pride!

We are inviting you to join in the fun and purple your home, car, business, self, and anyplace you can think of. We are seling large pull ribbons for a dollar to start us off, so please email us if you would like some! We are also going to purple the gazebo in Harrisville, the waterfall, and much much more.

We are also asking our local businesses to join in the fun and compete with each other for the best purpled business-interior or exterior. All businesses that participate will get a mention at our event, but the 6 best (divivided by location) will win a track sign at our event for advertisement. All you have to do is send us a picture of your purpled business to rfl.burrillville.glocester@gmail.com to win!

We have one week to get our town to ask, "What's with all this purple?"

Please check our facebook for ideas and more information.

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

FIGHT BACK through research! THIS YEAR, selected Relay event(s) in our community are offering the unique opportunity to participate first-hand in a landmark new study, the Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3).The American Cancer Society will be enrolling people into CPS-3, a long-term study that will help researchers better identify the lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer. Please spread the word and visit the Cancer Prevention Study-3 website to find an enrollment location near you and for more information about how to participate in research today for a cancer free tomorrow!

Dedicate Luminaria bags in honor or in memory of a loved one lost to cancer >>
