Relay for Life in Baldwin Park

The 2011 Relay for Life is here. For those of you who don't know - The Relay for Life is an amazing event that brings the community together in an effort to raise money for the fight against cancer because cancer never sleeps ... The Relay is a 24hourr overnight event. Cancer is something that has hit many families in many ways. We have lost loved ones and we have loved ones that are still fighting. Relay will allow us to honor and remember those we have lost to cancer - but also to help those who are still fighting. Make a difference!!

This year's Relay will be on May 14 at 9 a.m. to May 15 9 a.m. If anyone is interested in joining a team, donate to a team, or create a team of your own, please contact the Social Services office for details.
