Pittsboro, NC - The planning is about to begin for the 7th Annual Pittsboro Relay For Life to be held May 16th and 17th at Northwood High School. For the 3rd year in a row Chatham County has been #1 in the nation in per capita money raised for population category 50,000-59,999. This has been achieved with hard work and dedication of Chatham County citizens who are determined to fight back in the battle against cancer.

Please help us make the 2008 Pittsboro Relay For Life our best event ever by volunteering to help in one of the volunteer positions listed below. If you need more information on the time commitments, please email Carol Esau at carolesau@embarqmail.com.
