Welcome to the Second Annual Relay For Life in East Lewis County! Thanks to everyone's hard work and donations we surpassed our $20,000 goal to raise more than $34,000.
It was a success because people showed up. It was not just about the money, the track remained full of people for two days. I think the success attributed to the fact that there was a common goal awareness.
Relay For Life® is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back against this disease. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team keeps at least one team member on the track at all times.
Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. It is a night for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another.
Relay gives you the power to help accelerate the Society's advancement toward a future where cancer doesn't take the lives of our friends and family.
Sign up today to become a part of the Relay phenomenon. Together we can accelerate the progress to a cancer-free future.
2006 Relay Success!
Our 2006 Relay was a wonderful success! Thanks to everyone involved, we raised over $44,000 to continue searching for a cure. Again, thanks to everyone involved.
