American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life 2011 – Harlem NY Saturday July 9th

American Cancer Societys Relay For Life 2011   Harlem NY Saturday July 9th

By HarlemGuy

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.

This year’s Harlem NY venue will be on Saturday, July 9th, 2011 at Riverbank State Park-679 Riverside Drive.

At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length.

Relay began in 1985.  Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, Washington, ran and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society.  Since then Relay has grown into the world’s largest movement to end cancer.  Each year, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the United States, along with additional communities in 19 other countries, gather to take part in this global phenomenon and raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer.

Relay is helping to create a world with more birthdays.  A world where cancer can’t claim another year of anyone’s life.

Anyone can participate in Relay For Life.   There is a $10 per person  registration/commitment fee (per person)  due upon registration.

The Ice Theatre of New York is again bringing its New Works and Young Artists Series to Riverbank State Park this month.  Founded in 1984 by Moira North, Ice Theatre of New York is a not-for-profit ice dancing ensemble that has pioneered “performance skating”, an innovative blend of dance and ice skating.  The New Works and Young Artists series allows emerging choreographers and performers an opportunity to present new works to the Harlem community.  The performances are free and open to the public; they are followed by a free skating clinic for students from participating public schools.
