We are looking for volunteers to join our Event Leadership Team and help us plan for the 2018 Relay For Life of Harrisburg! Experienced Relayers and first-timers are all welcome. We have a planning meeting once a month in Harrisburg, host a Team Rally once a month at a Harrisburg business and occassionally have 1-2 other fundraising events per month in advance of Relay For Life, which is held on a TBD weekend in June.
We are looking for a variety of expertise in event planning, fundraising, marketing, accounting, recruiting etc. Responsibilities range from helping solicit sponsorships to planning the details of the event's survivor dinner to helping coordinate the Luminaria ceremony to being a Team Ambassador.
This is a great way to get involved in the Harrisburg community, meet new people AND work towards raising money for a GREAT cause.

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
Relay For Life of Harrisburg is a one-day community event hosted in the heart of Harrisburg to Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back. against cancer. It is the signature fundraising event of the American Cancer Society and monies raised throughout the year for the event go directly towards essential services for cancer patients, survivors and their caretakers in the Harrisburg area.
Relay began in 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, Washington, ran and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Since then, Relay has grown from a single man’s passion to fight cancer into the world’s largest movement to end the disease. Each year, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the United States, along with additional communities in 19 other countries, gather to take part in this global phenomenon and raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Thanks to Relay participants, we are creating a world with more birthdays a world where cancer can’t claim another year of anyone’s life.
