These business opportunities offer a significant branding platform within your community, including the thousands of participants, volunteers, and spectators that attended our 2011 events.
Relay For Life of Thornton brought approximately 300 people together to celebrate survivorship while raising funds for the American Cancer Society at the summer 2011 event. With support from several dedicated teams and numerous sponsors, the Relay For Life of Thornton event raised more than $38,000! 2012 Relay For Life of Thornton are tentatively planned as follows:
