American Cancer Society’s Second Annual “Relay for Life”

Homepage: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/GI/gi_1.asp

“Relay For Life is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs of your American Cancer Society. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.

Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day, cancer will be eliminated.

”The Outreach Program serves as a bridge between SMC and local high schools, middle schools, and community agencies to ensure a smooth transition process from high school to college. Outreach provides services to over 60 local high schools in LA County, including college and career fairs, recruitment, on-site English and math placement testing, financial aid presentations, and application workshops.

An additional part of Outreach is the SMC Dual Enrollment Program through which the College offers college-level classes to high school students at their high school campus.
