Relay For Life Planning Underway
September 6, 2008
Century Relay for Life may be many months away, but the planning for the event began this week.
Organizers met late this week to start the planning for the Relay for Life event that will take place the last week of April, 2009. Leadership roles were discussed and appointments will be made in the near future.
Relay for Life is an organization totally run by volunteers that promotes awareness of cancer and raises money to help fight for a cure. Paula Jernigan, Century chairperson and B.J. Davis (pictured left), director of marketing, opened the meeting by allowing attendees to share how cancer had personally touched their lives.
Many of those in attendance at the meeting spoke from the heart on the importance of this event and how they want to increase the number of volunteers. The message at the meeting was to bring in as many volunteers as possible and work hard for a cure. Davis passionately said that he wants everyone “bleeding purple” in the community.
Purple colored favors were also handed out to each one who attended. Purple is the color identifying the Relay for Life organization.
