Impactful Women Association Partners with American Cancer Society Relay For Life

Online, December 12, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Impactful Women Association will raise much needed funds and awareness to support the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life® which marks the celebration of 25 years that brings more than 3.5 million people from 4,900 communities across the country together each year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.

Relay For Life® is a fun-filled, overnight event that empowers everyone to help fight cancer by raising money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society's life saving mission. Teams of people camp out at local high schools, parks, or fairgrounds and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relay For Life® symbolizes the hope that people lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face the disease have support, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.

Marisa Patawaran Tonnesen, Founder and President, Impactful Women Association stated, "Cancer is an awful disease that affect so many lives. By supporting American Cancer Society, we can help provide awareness and fight this battle together."
