Relay For Life of Cunningham Park
Saturday June 5, 2010 & Sunday 6, 2010
Do You want to be involved???
We need all the help we can get!!!!
Here are the ways you can be a part of the event.....
- Be a part of the committee! Committee members are now being recruited for Team Recruitment; Corporate Sponsorship; Logistics/Facility; Entertainment; Registration/Accounting; Survivorship; Public Relations; Onsite Volunteers; Onsite Survivor Activities, and Food.
- Form your own Relay For Life team! Gather together 8-15 of your favorite people who love having fun and making a difference.
- Volunteer at the event! We need volunteers who will help with the needs at the site itself on the day of the event!
A cancer survivor event-within-an-event. At every Relay For Life, cancer survivors are honored for their courage and strength by beginning the event with an honorary lap. The individuals are celebrated in various ways from food and t-shirts, to dances and games!
A community fair. Few other events bring together all components of a community from children to older adults like the Relay For Life. Games, food, fun, music and activities fill the air of every Relay For Life as everyone joins for a common cause and has fun doing it!
A luminaria ceremony. Survivors and those who are no longer with us are honored at this one-of-a-kind ceremony. Paper bags bearing the names of loved ones line the track and often the entire stadium. A candle is placed inside and is lit at dusk. Often the names of all of the bags are read to the sound of heart-felt music. This moving, memorable portion of the event is often the most powerful time of the entire Relay For Life activity.
There is much, much more as YOUR Relay For Life takes on the personality of the committee planning it and the community hosting.
