About Relay For Life
Relay For Life is a community event that offers an opportunity to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones lost to the disease, and fight back against cancer. Teams of 8 to 15 people raise money in advance and camp out at Noel Field in North Adams, MA and take turns walking, jogging, or running around a track or path. Teams are encouraged to camp out in tents and enjoy the great music, food, and camaraderie of the event. Relay For Life of Northern Berkshire is going on its 12th year in our community.

We are looking for a number of leadership positions. Our Event Leadership Team is the planning committee for our event. If you are connected within your community and want to fight back against cancer through volunteering your time and energy, we want to work with you! Training and on-boarding provided. Leadership team members are crucial in the efforts to help organize this important walk!

Mission Statement
The American Cancer Society is the nationwide community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.
Description
The American Cancer Society is a global grassroots force of 2.5 million volunteers saving lives and fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. As the largest voluntary health organization, the Society's efforts have contributed to a 22 percent decline in cancer death rates in the US during the past two decades, and a 50 percent drop in smoking rates. Thanks in part to our progress nearly 14.5 million Americans who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will celebrate more birthdays this year. We're determined to finish the fight against cancer. As the nation's largest private, not-for-profit investor in cancer research, we're finding cures and ensuring people facing cancer have the help they need and continuing the fight for access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, clean air, and more. For more information, to get help, or to join the fight, visit cancer.org or call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345.
