We are saddened to learn of Jim Smothers’ passing. As a proud member of The Home Team—one of the very first and longest-participating teams in Relay For Life of Albany - NY —Jim was a familiar and cherished part of Relay. He was always there with a smile, a can-do spirit, and helping hands, especially when it came to making sure the luminaria in the bleachers were perfectly aligned to spell HOPE. His kindness and dedication will be remembered and missed. 💜

Gordy’s Give Back Day is here! 💜

More than 40 years ago, Dr. Gordy Klatt took the first steps that sparked Relay For Life. Today, we honor his legacy by coming together to support the mission of the American Cancer Society.

Every donation to ACS makes an impact on cancer research, advocacy, and patient support.

Volunteer Recognition Day is the annual celebration of those who selflessly benefit the lives of others. By providing a helping hand to those in need, humans and animals alike, we are all naturally working towards making the world a better place. Every single one of us has been benefited from the work of a volunteer and Volunteer Recognition Day acknowledges the beauty of this phenomenon. Every direction we turn, we can do something outside of our daily list of requirements. As you go about your day, honor and thank those who go to the extra mile.

We are so incredibly grateful for ALL of the people that volunteer with the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life. We cannot do what is being done without volunteers.

THANK YOU!

Share with us in the comments how many years you've been a volunteer with the American Cancer Society!
