Starting at 11 am, join us at Malabar Mehock Field to participate in Relay for Life. Survivors are the reason we Relay and they make up a group of nearly 11 million strong who are finding their way through the cancer experience and fighting back against the disease. At Relay For Life, Survivors are our guests of honor.

From 6PM-10PM The Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). The American Cancer Society’s Epidemology Research Program is inviting men and women between the ages of 30 and 65 years who have no personal history of cancer to join this historic research study. The ultimate goal is to enroll 500,000 adults from various racial/ethnic backgrounds from across the U.S. By joining CPS-3, you can help us understand how to prevent cancer, which will save lives and give people more of their most precious resource: time. More time with their families and friends, more memories, more celebrations...and more birthdays.

Early diagnosis and screening saves lives.

While it is not always possible to prevent cancer, early detection is one of the most important factors in beating cancer. Some types of cancer, such as breast, skin and testicular cancers, can and should be regularly self-examined. If you detect anything to give you concern, make an appointment to talk to your physician or medical professional for further screening.
