American Cancer Society Relay For Life news and more

This January 25, your American Cancer Society launched an all-out blitz in California to recruit new teams for Relay For Life. We'd like to give a HUGE thank you to the dedicated volunteers throughout the state who helped us obtain more than 1,800 new Relay For Life team captains in 30 days! Now, here's the challenge: help us celebrate 25 years of Relay For Life by raising $25 more than last year! Unfortunately, we are seeing an increase in the number of cancer patients and survivors in need. By raising just an additional $25, you can provide the American Cancer Society with the funds needed to continue our free programs and services. Visit www.relayforlife.org/california to get involved today!

March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
If you are 50 or older or have a family history of colon cancer, talk to your doctor about getting tested. Colon cancer is preventable, treatable and beatable. Read all about colorectal cancer screening guidelines, get a colon cancer screening reminder and more at www.cancer.org/colon.Bonus Video!
