It’s Not Your Ordinary Fundraiser
  
The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is a unique celebration of life in honor and in memory of those touched by cancer. 

Join us for entertainment, music, food, prizes and fun.

Teams of 8 – 15 people walk, run or jog through the gym and hallways of Ripon High School (Wisconsin)

Teams come together for one goal – to raise money through donations to help in the fight against cancer.  Relay For Life is for anyone and everyone – it is not athletically challenging or competitive.

What makes Relay For Life an event that will be remembered is the sense of pride, camaraderie, and personal satisfaction you’ll feel knowing that you’ve helped raise awareness that cancer can and will be beaten. 

The funds raised go a long way toward helping the American Cancer Society continue its programs of research, education, advocacy and service to cancer patients and their families.

Everyone is invited to the Relay to enjoy food, games and entertainment. The Relay also provides cancer information and education.

2008 Power Point Presentation

We are putting together a special power point presentation for the Luminaria ceremony at the Relay that will help to pay tribute to those who have been lost to cancer and celebrate the lives of those who have survived their battle.

 

For the power point we need photos – pictures of cancer survivors and your loved ones who have lost their cancer battle.  Photos you send in will be highlighted through this moving presentation along with many others.  The name of the survivor and number of years of survival or the name of your loved one and the year they lost their battle will appear with photos.

 

If you are interested in having a photo of yourself or a loved one in this presentation, please complete the form below and send along with your photo.
