Paint N' Taste Jan 23 - Relay For Life Fundraiser

**Proceeds from tonight’s fundraiser will go to the Relay For Life of Southington.

Reserve a seat for this great event by using this link!

At Relay For Life events, communities across the globe come together to honor cancer survivors,remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The funds you raise truly make a difference in the fight against cancer – just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year!

Relay For Life teams camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around a track or path at a local high school, park, or fairground. Events are up to 24 hours long, and because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times. 

On May 29 and 30, 2015 more than 1,200 residents, friends and family members will walk the track at Southington High School and in 24 hours raise a large amount of money that funds the programs of the American Cancer Society.

Through fundraisers like tonight, Relay For Life of Southington was able to raise $147,000 in 2014. 

Please help us Finish the Fight to find a cure and create a world with more birthdays.
