Giving of your time; giving of your money to cancer research

Corporate donations and hundreds of volunteers at Relay
Beginning with the dozens upon dozens of volunteers, congratulations on making the 2015 Relay For Life in Woodstock so successful.
The committee realizes that more than 98% of participants are truly volunteers at Relay and everyone answers the question: #WhyIRelay.
Volunteers are needed in various capacities with registrations and selling luminaries. Volunteers set up the track at CASS by building a stage, unfolding tents, wiring up generators and plugging in the sound system. Volunteers are everywhere in the food tent and many more were inside CASS preparing caesar salad or cutting lasagna trays. Volunteers are everywhere! We thank the Woodstock Camera Club, Lions Club, CASS students, Shrine clowns, Fanshawe College, and Woodstock Police colour guard. Music performers Terry Empey, Them Again and The Grapes entertained.
Participants are also volunteers as you collect pledges and raise important dollars through various other projects such as bake sales and garage sales.

Relay For Life is successful thanks to many corporate donors and in-kind assistance from businesses and the City of Woodstock. From overall event sponsor Western General (Economical insurance), to Kinsdale Carriers as luminary sponsor, to media sponsors Heart FM and The Sentinel-Review, -- the Canadian Cancer Society is grateful to everyone listed on this ad along with anyone that may have been forgotten.
Look at the list of contributors on the ad and support those who support the CCS.
See you in 2016 !
However, continue to watch this space for updates and news about Relay For Life.
