We are raising funds to fight cancer for our American Cancer Society Sonoma County Relay for Life event.

American Cancer Society offer programs and services to help the more than 1.4 million cancer patients diagnosed each year in this country, and the 14 million cancer survivors – as well as their family. We provide information, day-to-day help, and emotional support. All our help is free. With donations from Relay for Life the American Cancer Society offers support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether recently diagnosed, currently going through treatment, or are caring for a loved one with cancer, we’re here with information, day-to-day help, and emotional support every step of the way. From transportation to treatments, to help making decisions about your care, we offer programs, services, and resources. Whether it’s the middle of the day or the middle of the night, our cancer information specialists are here to help. You may want someone to help guide you through your cancer care. An American Cancer Society patient navigator can help. The American Cancer Society program has patient navigators at hospitals, treatment centers, and other health care settings throughout the country. Even if you just need a friendly ear, we can assist in more than 200 languages (via a language line).

American Cancer Society: For nearly 100 years, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has worked relentlessly to save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Together with millions of our supporters worldwide, we’re helping people stay well, helping people get well, finding cures, and fighting back against cancer.

Relay for Life: At Relay for Life events, communities across the globe come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The funds raised truly make a difference in the fight against cancer. Funds support and give hope to cancer patients & their families.

The Sonoma County Relay for Life is planning an on-line auction to raise funds prior to the Sept. 17th event. As Covid restrictions allow the actual event will be a day long ceremony on Sept. 17 to honor survivors and also loved ones lost with a luminaria ceremony. There will be entertainment and testimonials from survivors to help cancer awareness.
