About
We are the CANcer Crushers. We are a group of kids (ages 7-9) participating in the Northwest Tarrant County Relay For Life in Saginaw, Texas on April 17, 2009. We are the first all kids team to participate in this particular event.
What is Relay for Life?
Relay For Life is a life-changing event that brings together more than 3.5 million people to:
- Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer. The strength of survivors inspires others to continue to fight.
- Remember loved ones lost to the disease. At Relay, people who have walked alongside people battling cancer can grieve and find healing.
- Fight Back. We Relay because we have been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an end to the disease.
Why We Participate
We have seen first-hand how many of our friends and family have fought the battle against cancer. We.ve seen their struggles, fears, tears, and celebrations as they have gone through each phase of this dreadful disease. We have celebrated their wins as well as mourned their losses. We believe that one day we will find a cure for this horrible disease. However, we know there is still much research to be done. But without funding, there will be no research.
What We are Doing
We are joining the battle against cancer by participating in Relay For Life. To raise money, we are collecting and recycling aluminum cans. We are the "CAN"cer Crushers. All proceeds to to American Cancer Society. By doing this, we are also saving our environment.
We Need Your Help
If you live in the Fort Worth area, you can save your aluminum cans and drop them off at one of our dropoff locations.
If you don.t live in our area, you can still save and recycle your aluminum cans and send the proceeds to our team.

Recycling Facts
Over 50 percent of cans produced are recycled.
A used aluminum can is recycled and back on the grocery shelf as a new can, in as little as 60 days.
Every minute of everyday, an average of 113,204 aluminum cans are recycled.
Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to keep a 100-watt bulb burning for almost four hours or run your television for three hours.
