Daniel Hewes is an experienced research associate and program coordinator with a masters degree in urban planning from Columbia University. Daniel Hewes regularly engages in activities with several philanthropic organizations, including the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life program.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) has conducted cancer research and provided cancer awareness services throughout the country for more than 100 years. The organization uses its website, www.cancer.org, as a valuable educational resource. ACS also manages a number of national cancer fundraising programs, including Relay for Life.

Relay for Life events involve communities coming together and walking as a way to raise money for research projects and patient support. Individuals who walk or contribute to Relay for Life events are taking direct action in supporting the one in three women and one in two men who will receive a cancer diagnosis at some point during their lives.

By visiting the ACS website, individuals can enter their address or zip code and find a nearby Relay for Life event. The website also provides information on Luminaria and Keepsake remembrance tokens, which can be purchased in honor of a loved one and lit after dark during Relay for Life events.
