With the Relay All Star Award, the
Illinois Division of the American Cancer Society honors events that
achieve significant fundraising and participant growth. In 2012,
Relay For Life of Logan County raised approximately $77,514 with
nearly 401 participants. "By
supporting Relay For Life of Logan County, our volunteers are
helping us save more lives faster," said Alan D. Lev, chairman of
the board of the American Cancer Society's Illinois Division. "We
invite all Logan County residents to join us in fighting for every
birthday threatened by cancer."
This year the Logan County Relay
for Life will be from 6 p.m. June 14 to 6 a.m. on June 15 outside at
the Lincoln Center on the Lincoln College campus.
Teams are signing up members to
help the Logan County Relay reach the $1 million mark for the
lifetime of the county's events, which began in 1998. With 2013 as
the 16th year in Logan County, and being only $1,320 away from that
milestone, the organization continues to strive to help find a cure
while also supporting services that benefit survivors.
