Funds raised through the "Rally For Life" will benefit the Relay For Life of Kenosha which helps the 3,691 Kenosha residents (on average) that are diagnosed with cancer each year. After 100 years of saving lives, the American Cancer Society is more committed than ever to making this cancer’s last century. Specifically in 2012 in Kenosha County, the American Cancer Society directly answered 409 patient-related information requests that included questions about treatment options, transportation assistance, patient programs and support services. Additionally, the American Cancer Society provided a total of 699 patient-related services to the residents of Kenosha.  On the registration page, you may also purchase luminaries.

In addition to patient programs and services, residents in Kenosha benefit from the American Cancer Society’s
cancer-fighting strategies that include:

• Developing and providing prevention and early detection
  guidelines for recommended cancer screenings, nutrition and physical activity
• Investing in cancer research—we are the largest private
  funder of cancer research in the US, and second only to the federal government
  in total dollars spent
• Advocating for public policies like smoke free laws,
  increased funding for cancer research and access to quality health care.
