Century Relay For Life Kickoff Meeting Is Tonight; Still Time To Form Your Team

January 20, 2009

The Century Relay for Life’s Kickoff Team Captains’ Meeting will be held tonight at 6:30 in Carver/Century K-8 cafeteria.

All Relay team captains are encouraged to bring as many team members as they can. The 2009 Relay theme is “Get in the Game! Defeat Cancer!” so all “Relayers” are to come dressed to represent their favorite sport. Dinner will be served, with thanks to Subway of Flomaton. This meeting will launch the “official” Relay for Life season, with information about fund raising and team building.

We are continuing to recruit teams; we have 10 registered teams and would love to have 10 more to represent area churches, businesses and families. Century Relay encompasses the areas of Century, Flomaton, Walnut Hill, and all the way down to Molino. If you are interested in starting a team, volunteering, or just want information about Relay for Life, please join us.

In addition, we are going to honor those who are battling or who have overcome cancer, and would love to have cancer survivors and caregivers join us. We will register you for our Survivors’ Victory Lap and the Brunch to follow.

These are difficult times for everyone, so it is all the more crucial that we continue to help the American Cancer Society provide services to cancer patients and families, fund research for prevention and treatment, and provide information about prevention, treatment and services to the public. Century Relay has raised approximately $50,000 since it began two years ago. Let this year’s Relay Event be an example of how compassionate and giving “NorthEnders” truly are! For more information, contact Paula Jernigan, Event Chair, at 256-3842 or B.J. Davis, ACS Community Partner, at 475-0850.
