Greater Danbury Relay for Life Kickoff - Danbury Fair, April 15

By Meghan Friedland, Publisher/Editor, Macaroni KID Greater Danbury, CT March 31, 2023

The Greater Danbury Relay for Life organization is holding a kick-off event at the Danbury Fair mall on Saturday, April 15th from 11AM-4PM.  

Relay For Life is one of the largest peer-to-peer fundraising events in the world. For more than 35 years, communities around the globe have come together to raise funds for a future free from cancer. 

The kick-off event at Danbury Fair will be filled with music, crafts, a giant purple chair photo-op from 11-3PM followed by a survivor lap around the mall. The event is a combined rally for both the Greater Danbury Festival of Hope as well as Relay of Life of New Fairfield, both of which will have their own celebrations coming up in June! 

Volunteers are the heart and soul of ACS and are critical to the success at every level. By joining the Relay For Life movement, volunteers help save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer. 

Other ways to join the Relay For Life movement include:

  • Become a volunteer on the event planning committee
  • Make a donation
  • Invite a cancer survivor to be celebrated. Or if you’re a survivor, join the movement!
  • Become a sponsor
