For Immediate Release:
June 1, 2004
Danbury, Connecticut – June 1, 2004
– The Waterbury Chapter of the American Cancer Society’s Relay for
Life has joined the Parade of Ponds fundraiser. The Relay for Life will run
June 12 & 13th and is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate
survivorship and raise money for research and programs for the American Cancer
Society. During this event, teams of people will gather at the Waterbury Municipal
Stadium and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least
one team member on the track at all times.
The Parade of Ponds is an annual fundraiser sponsored by Cooper’s, a landscape
supply company in Danbury, CT. The Parade of Ponds is a self guided tour that
features over 100 water gardens. This event is being held on Saturday and Sunday,
July 10th & 11th. The donation is $20 per person and an attendee receives
a booklet of the locations, directions, and descriptions of the water gardens
on this year’s tour. Booklets for the Parade of Ponds are available at
the Waterbury Relay for Life on June 12 & 13th or by calling the Waterbury
American Cancer Society at the number listed below.
“The Parade of Ponds has been benefiting local charities and we are very
excited to be working with the Waterbury American Cancer Society,” says
Brad Cooper of Coopers. “We saw the generosity of Cooper’s and how
much this event helps other charities and decided we wanted to be a part of
it. The Relay for Life is our signature event and we are very excited for the
chance to generate more awareness for it,” said Raymond Komorowski of
the Waterbury chapter of the American Cancer Society.
The American Cancer Society has been added to the already impressive list of charities (Family & Children’s Aid in Shelton, Danbury, & New Milford, Green Chimney in Brewster, The Waterbury area and Western CT chapters of the American Red Cross.)
