Relay for Life Benefit Fairless Hills, PA
“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.” – John Holmes
On Saturday, June 28, 2014 the community of Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania gathered together for the local Relay For Life event. In more than 5,200 communities and 20 countries, Relay For Life events make up a primary fund raising effort for the American Cancer Society, and each community event becomes an integral part of a combined global effort. Each year, the Relay For Life raises more than $400 million around the world. The American Cancer Society uses the donations towards innovative research for every type of cancer, as well as getting information and services to cancer patients and their caregivers. At the local PA event, participants connected by their desire to fight against cancer honored survivors, remembered loved ones and raised funds to continue the battle against this disease. The 2014 event took place at Pennsbury High School, where 46 teams and 588 participants raised nearly $135,000.
Each local Relay for Life event is 24 hours long, and team members take turns walking or running around a track. The celebration begins with a Survivor Lap, followed by a Caregiver Lap, both honoring those on the front lines of this fight. Then all participants take part in an opening lap. Peruzzi is proud of our employees and family, who showed up in force to help others. In the end, Peruzzi was the top fund raising team at the event, raising $23,116.85 and fielding a team of 15 members. Participants from each of our stores – Nissan, Mazda, Buick GMC & Toyota – came out to support the effort.
