The Biggest Thing on Campus
…that’s what she said!
 
Come check out Colleges Against Cancer at NYU!  Our mission is to unite the NYU community in the fight against cancer, by working towards a signature overnight fundraising event, Relay for Life.  Relay For Life and Colleges Against Cancer are both American Cancer Society entities, so 100% of money we fundraise goes directly to the American Cancer Society to support all of their incredible programs.
 
At Relay For Life 2011 we raised $171,000 in the fight against cancer for the American Cancer Society making us the single largest student-run fundraiser on campus.  We also were the 2nd largest fundraiser in the Eastern Collegiate Division of Relay For Life beating out schools like Cornell and Columbia.  This is the one club on campus that truly unites all NYU students, faculty, and staff.  
 
 
Whether you’re new to NYU or have been thinking about getting involved before, this is the year.  Colleges Against Cancer and Relay For Life is celebrating its 10th anniversary of being part of the NYU community.  Our goal is to raise $200,000 in the fight against cancer, and we need your help!  Committee positions are still available.  
 
So join us tonight for our first interest meeting to meet the e-board, get to know who we are and what we’re all about, and of course eat some delicious FREE food (all of your faves from Trader Joe’s).
