Chino – Everyone, in some way, has been touched by cancer.  Either you are a survivor, or know someone who has lost the battle.  You can join the American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Chino help people get well, stay well, find cures, and fight back against cancer.

On Aug. 1-2, from 9 a.m. Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday, at Ayala Park (14225 Central Ave.), the Relay for Life of Chino will become part of the world’s largest and most impactful fundraising event to end cancer.  This experience unites communities across the globe to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action to finish the fight once and for all.

With the support of thousands of volunteers – just like you – the American Cancer Society is helping to save more than 400 lives each day.  According to the Relay for Life Chino website, 81 teams and 1,262 participants have raised more than $124,000 to date.

You can help by starting or joining a team, or become a sponsor by visiting www.relayforlife.org/chinoca.  If you are not able to walk in the relay, you can still become part of the momentum by participating in the Goodwill Fundraiser.  Gently used items from Garage Sale leftovers or getting around to cleaning out those closets can be brought to the parking lot behind the soccer fields at College Park Ave. in Chino, on Aug. 1, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.  The proceeds for every bin filled for Goodwill Southern California will benefit the American Cancer Society.  For more information on this fundraiser, call (909) 518-0097.

Come and join in the fun at the Relay for Life of Chino.  Whether you participate or just cheer others on, you will help take a stand in the fight against cancer.
