Relay For Life

Committee Members Northern Harbour Relay

Relay For Life is a major fundraising event organised on behalf of The Cancer Council NSW by local people on a voluntary basis. It is an event where teams of 10 to 15 people take turns walking or running around a local oval to raise funds for cancer research, education, support services and advocacy. Relay is for young and old and you can walk as many or few laps as you like. It`s not a race and you don`t need to run. A festival-style atmosphere is created around the event with participants being encouraged to pitch a tent, camp overnight and enjoy the community atmosphere. Participants are entertained with bands, food and fun.

The Cancer Council is looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals and professionals who are interested in becoming involved in this exciting community project to be run in the Northern Harbour area in 2009.

Committee members will gain valuable event experience, have fun in their local community and contribute to the fight against cancer.

Available Committee roles are:
  • Committee Secretary
  • Catering Coordinator
  • Health Education
  • Media & Promotions
  • Sponsorship & Fundraising
  • Entertainment / Activities
  • Team Retention & Development.

Event experience is desirable but not essential, as guidance and training will be provided to the successful volunteer committee members.
