Icing on the Cake......Fund Raising the night of Relay is just that!!! Icing on the Cake!!! Yes, money is online already, but the money you raise the night of Relay will go towards finding a CURE as well!!! You certainly do not have to do any fund raising at Relay....just come and have a wonderful night, but if you do fund raise.....thank you!!! See you in a few days!
Relay for Life is a very moving and touching event. There are certain times that quiet is called for. Please help out with this. During the opening ceremony, the luminaria ceremony, fight back and closing ceremony it is very important to have quiet. There are hours to talk and chat, these times, however are not the time for this. If you can, please remind your team and especially please ask that any kids not toss balls or talk during this time, out of respect to those we are all at Relay to honor. Help spread the word.....thanks so much....
1. You have to spend the night.....MYTH....you do not have to spend the night, but it sure is fun!!! 2. Relay for life is an running relay with a baton....MYTH...it IS a race for a CURE...but Relay is a team walking event!!! 3. Cancer never sleeps.....FACT...cancer never sleeps, and if we can give up one night of sleep to help find a cure, it is very worth it!!! But remember...see #1... 4.
