The online auction opens on May 16....please spread the word for this very important part of our Relay for Life.  We have made good money with this, money towards a cure....but we have to spread the word!!!  Another thing important to do - check out the fund raisers listed on the main page and support your fellow Relay"ers"!  And, last but not least....ask....Ask people for a donation.  I have said it before....people may not donate if they are not asked.  You know to use your email, Facebook, Twitter....pick up the phone and ask...mail a letter and ask.  You should be PROUD of what you are doing...this is not a time to be shy.  People who have cancer are not given a choice - they have to be brave.  As a Relay participant, we need to try and be brave and ask for donations.  Ask your teachers if you can do a "Coin Challenge"...ask your boss if you can do a Silent Auction for a half or full day off.....do the "old school" Friday jeans/hat/flip flop day if people make a donation.  Have a bake sale at work!!!  Good luck...and pat yourself on the back - every single dollar raised, every bit of awareness you raise makes a difference.
