American Cancer Society needs volunteers

The American Cancer Society is looking for professionals in the Charleston area to participate on the planning committee for the Kanawha County Relay for Life.

The annual event, held at the Capitol complex in June, is an overnight event filled with entertainment, activities and the opportunity to celebrate life—the lives of those who have passed on from cancer and the lives of those who have survived. Funds raised go towards education, awareness, research and local support services for all types of cancer.

Volunteers are needed to help with the following committees; an * denotes a committee that does not have a chair to date: Advocacy, Community Team Recruitment, Corporate Team Recruitment, *Data Entry Chair, Entertainment, *In-Kind Sponsorship, Logistics, Luminaria Marketing and PR, *Meeting Coordinator, Mission Delivery, Recognition, Registration, Accounting, *School Recruitment, RFL Secretary, Sponsorship, Survivor Development, Survivor Reception, Team Recruitment and Team Retention.

Committee members meet once a month from October through the event in June. Anyone interested should contact Jennifer Nugent at (304) 776-5200, x104 or jln@wvexecutive.com.
