The American Cancer
Society's 2rid Annual Relay
For Life in Meriwether
County will take place on
Aug. 1-2, 2003, at Greenville
High School.
Relay For Life is a fun-
filled overnight event
designed to Celebrate local
cancer survivors and to raise
money for . Research
Programs for your American
Cancer Society.
Relay represents the
hope that those lost to cancer
will never be forgotten, that
those who face cancer will be
supported, and that one day,
cancer will be eliminated.
It has been said that Relay
For Life is one huge support
group for cancer survivors.
Agreeing with that theory,
the Honorary First Lap, at
7PM on Friday is led by can-
cer survivors, who wear t-
shirts declaring theft victo-
ry over cancer.
Later, a Luminary
Ceremony is held. The
bagged votive candles, which
are sold during and prior to
the event, burn throughout
the night and serve as a
reminder to all participants
of the reason for the Relay
For Life.
Relay For Life involved
teams of 10 to 15 people tak-
ing turns walking or running
around a track, relay style,
for the duration of the event.
It is a non competitive, team
building event.
Participants from the
community come from busi-
nesses, industry, churches,
schools, neighborhoods and
other organizations ..... any
group wanting to join togeth-
er to fight cancer.
Teams camp around the
track and participate in a
variety of activities while
waiting their turn to relay.
From line dancing and live
bands, to trivia and scav-
enger hunts, we have some-
thing for all.
With awards given for the
Best Decorated Campsite,
the Best Team Spirit, and
much more - there is fun and
competition for everyone.
We are now in the process
of recruiting new Relay For
Life teams, cancer survivors,
corporate sponsors, and
entertainment.
If you are interested in
becoming involved with the
Relay For Life, please con-
tact Amanda Bacon at your
American Cancer Society at
770-460-8920.
Please join us for our next
Relay For Life meeting on
June 26th at the DFCS build-
ing in Greenville.
