Relay for Life
RRPC’s Relay For Life Campaign
July 11-October 31, 2021
The Rio Rancho Presbyterian Church is again participating in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Central New Mexico. Last year our participation was limited but we still raised $3,200 in honor of many loved ones lost to all types of cancer and for those that survived. As the Church community returns to “normal” operations, we have several events planned and hope you will join the fun!
Here are a few things you should know:
- Every Dollar makes a difference at Relay For Life. No donation is too small, and each and every dollar counts! Your donations help fund groundbreaking cancer research, patient care programs, and can make a difference in communities like ours. With every donation, you are helping the American Cancer Society save lives.
- The American Cancer Society is on a mission to free the world from cancer. They fund and conduct research, share expert information, support patients and caregivers, an spreads the word about prevention. All of this is done so you can live longer — and better.

- Central New Mexico has been hosting a Relay for Life campaign for many years. There are many ways to donate directly to the campaign and/or participate in a variety of fundraisers in the Albuquerque, Rio Rancho metro areas. To learn more, visit Relay for Life of Central NM

Silent Art Auction – September 26th
We are planning a silent art auction on September 26. We are collecting art pieces (pictures, paintings, or hand-crafted items) to auction. Items can be gently-used as long as they are in good condition. If you have donations you can bring them to Church and put them in the nursery on the Sunday School tables. Questions? Email Pam Scalco or call her, 505.331.8356.
If you have any questions, send an email. If you want to obtain more details about an event, this website will be updated as more information is obtained.
