Relay for Life
I Relay for my father...Who do you relay for?
So many of us have been affected by cancer. A loved one, a friend, a neighbor, a co-worker, or even yourself.
This is the year that many of us are joining forces to help the fight against cancer. Team All Saints is on its way to making strides this year at the Hartland Relay for Life event at Hartland High School on May 15-16.
Like a cancer grows, so our Team needs to grow, only faster.
There are many ways to be part of this event, many roles to fill, and many opportunities to help us grow - as a team.
Think strength in numbers and strength in unity. If you feel the calling to join us, here are just some of the ways you can
share your heart and desire to "fight back":
*Walking member of team
*Raise money toward the team goal
*Fundraising
*Designing team baton (it is a "relay" after all )
*Create a team name
*Cheering squad
*Possible fundraising at event (selling craft items, face painting, games, etc. bring your ideas!)
*Donations for day of event
- canopy tent
- screened in tent
- refreshments
- cots
Some basics....
1) This is the 40th Birthday of Relay for Life.
2) This year's theme, "Under the Big Top".
3) You are not required to walk to be a member of the team.
4) For gaining team/personal donations, American Cancer Society (ACS) does have a pre designed web page if you choose to utilize this tool. Yes, I will give computer lessons and technical support. :)
5) You are not required or expected to actually be at the event the full 24 hours. We work out a schedule so we have one or more team members walking on the track at all times, you are welcome to come for your shift and then leave when you finish, or stay to cheer on your team.
6) This is a wonderful opportunity for community PR and outreach not just for All Saints, but each Ministry of All Saints as well.
7) Anyone can join our team. Invite your friends, neighbors, co-workers, family.
8) There is no age requirement.
9) If you own your own business and would like to sponsor our team or this event, you are rewarded with perks.
10) There is an SPC3 Cancer Screening event happening Saturday, May 21 in Brighton. This is an ACS study and is in need of volunteers as well as participants. More details can be found on the Brighton Relay for Life (R4L) website: www.relayforlife.org/brightonmi
And now, I ask this again, Who do YOU Relay for?
Join our team, join the fun, and join the fight against cancer.
