It's back! Relay For Life is a community fundraising event where teams commit to walking, running, skipping, or hopping around a designated track in support of our Ashburton Cancer Society. Team members take turns passing a baton, ensuring someone is always moving throughout the event.
Relay is a powerful way to whakanui (celebrate) people who have or have had cancer and the people who care for them; maumaharatia (remember) loved ones lost to cancer; and tū atu (fight back) by raising awareness and funds for the Cancer Society.
The Mid Canterbury Relay is on SAT 21 MAR at Ashburton Showgrounds, 10am - 10pm. We have set the ambitious fundraising target of $175,000. We'd love your help to go the distance!
