CELEBRATE AND REMEMBER AT THE RELAY FOR LIFE
Theme Laps, Special Activities
Cancer survivors are invited to join fellow survivors, families, and friends for a day to Celebrate, Remember, and Fight Back. Survivors’ are invited to register at the Survivor Registration and receive a 2016 Survivor pin, a 2016 Survivor T-shirt, and sash. Valet parking and wheelchairs will also be available for anyone needing assistance. The Survivors’ Supper and Fellowship is planned at 5:00 – 6:30 pm, with the Celebrate and Remember Ceremony at 7:30 pm, and the Survivors’ and Caregivers’ Laps to follow.
Luminaria provide a very personal way to honor survivors of cancer, to remember those who have lost their battle against cancer, or to recognize anyone who has been instrumental in the fight against cancer. These luminaria will be lighted at dusk and illuminate the stadium to remind everyone of the importance of their contributions in the lives of those affected by cancer. Luminaria donations may be made in advance or at the event.
A Reflection Lap is planned in conjunction with the luminary lighting. The Reflection Lap offers all Relay participants the opportunity to reflect, to remember and to celebrate those who have lost their battle with cancer. Immediately following the lighting and Reflection Lap, area dance team members will perform a Glow Stick Dance to close the lighting ceremony.
A non-competitive 5K Walk/Run around the track by the light of the luminaries will conclude the evening’s activities at the stadium. A free-will donation qualifies participants for an event t-shirt. Contact Dr. Greg Perkins at 712-830-5886 to register or sign up at the Relay For Life.
The Silent Auction is open to everyone and the money raised through the auction will be credited to the team or individual who donated the auction item. Auction items will be accepted at the Relay starting at 10 am. Contact Calee Hoffmann at hoffcalee@gmail.com or call 712-210-1307 for more information.
