Wellington Joins Relay For Life Movement
Wellington joins communities across the globe in the Relay For Life movement to celebrate those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action to finish the fight once and for all. Relay for Life Wellington takes place on Saturday, April 16, 2016 at 3:00 pm at Palm Beach Central High School (8499 Forest Hill Blvd, Wellington, FL).
The Relay For Life movement is the world’s largest fundraising event to fight every cancer in every community, with four million participants in 6,000 events worldwide in 2015.
“This is our community’s opportunity to help save lives from cancer by taking our message to more people and raising more dollars to fund the fight,” said Public Information Officer for the Village of Wellington, Liz Nunez. “Together, our efforts can make a big difference.”

About the American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society is a global grassroots force of 2.5 million volunteers saving lives and fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community.

Thanks in part to our progress; 14.5 million Americans who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will celebrate more birthdays this year. We’re determined to finish the fight against cancer. We’re finding cures as the nation’s largest private, not-for-profit investor in cancer research, ensuring people facing cancer have the help they need and continuing the fight for access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, clean air, and more.
