OnTrac Employees Walk 820 Laps to Raise Funds for a Cure

March 16, 2018
No Comments

CHANDLER, Ariz., March 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OnTrac, a logistics company specializing in delivery services in the Western United States, surpassed last year's fundraising total for the American Cancer Society (ACS) at yesterday's third annual OnTrac Corporate Relay For Life event. The event was hosted at the OnTrac Corporate Headquarters in Chandler, Arizona on Thursday, March 15, 2018 from 10am to 2pm. Similar to previous years, OnTrac employees participated by walking laps around the front of the office building at Continuum Business Park. However, this year the event was open to the public and members of the community joined the 162 participating OnTrac employees by raising awareness and funds to find a cure for cancer. The total number of laps completed were 820, which equaled 328 total miles walked. Based on $2 per lap, $1640 was donated to ACS for cancer research.

Kicking off the event was a leading lap walked by cancer survivors and caretakers to unite and join together in a celebration of life. The lap was approximately .4 miles and went along the perimeter of a large pond. Participants enjoyed festive music, a barbecue, and sunshine. A representative from ACS joined the community to talk about the various ways their organization is fighting back to create a world with more birthdays.

"I am one of the cancer survivors here at OnTrac and being a part of a special day like this is a great reminder how important it is to support one another in the community and at your place of work," says OnTrac Vice President of Human Resources Dan Cronk. "Hopefully, by having the American Cancer Society here and spreading awareness to their cause, it will give others a greater sense of hope to fight the disease if they or a loved one is impacted."
