Allen Insurance and Financial named honorary team for Relay for Life - VillageSoup Belfast
CAMDEN — The American Cancer Society has selected Allen Insurance and Financial to serve as honorary team for the 10th annual Relay for Life of MidCoast Maine.
Allen Insurance and Financial has been a longtime supporter of the Relay for Life event held annually in Rockport. The company's first Relay for Life team walked in 2004. Since that time the agency's team has raised more than $45,000 and has been the top fundraising team countless times at the event. Allen has been a corporate sponsor of the Relay for Life of MidCoast Maine for four years and prior to that the company donated meeting space to the event. Allen Insurance and Financial employees Trisha Wadsworth and Karen Reed will be at Relay for Life to accept the award during the opening ceremony.
"Relay for Life is an inspiring event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease," said Wadsworth in a news release. "Allen Insurance and Financial views participation in Relay as a cornerstone in our company's community-based philanthropy. It is an honor to be recognized for the kind of effort that comes so naturally to all of us."
At Relay for Life, teams of people camp out at a local school, park or fairground 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.
Community members serving on the Relay for Life committee include Ronna Emery, Don and Ainsley Kennedy, and Bob Jean.
The 10th annual Relay for Life of MidCoast Maine will take place June 22-23 at Camden Hills Regional High School. To participate, call 800-227-2345 or visit RelayForLife.org/midcoastme.
