Relay for Life - Celebration of Survivors
It’s not too early to start getting ready for the 2008 Relay for Life of Delta Junction.
Relay For Life 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. Already, we have about 25 teams with over 200 walkers signed up to spend 24 hours in the fight against Cancer. Last years 2007 Relay for Life of Delta Junction raised more than $73,000. We are so proud of this accomplishment.
Relay for Life will be held again at the Delta High School Track and will begin on Friday, May 9th at 6:00 PM and end at 6:00 PM on Saturday, May 10th.
Relay for Life succeeds because volunteers from every walk of life donate their time to support the fight against cancer. During the celebration, we honor survivors, those battling cancer and those who have lost their lives to this devastating disease. Delta Junction/Fort Greely is a small community, and we all know a neighbor who is a survivor, or a family who has lost someone to cancer. Relay gives us all hope for a cure.
A special luminaria ceremony will be held during the Relay for Life. Luminarias remember those lost to cancer and honors those who have survived. Luminaria candles will be lit at 10:00 p.m. May 9th to represent those individuals.
Anyone desiring to purchase a luminaria may do so by contacting Devra Milligan at 895-4445. Order forms may also be found at businesses around town and mailed in. Information and order forms can also be found online at www.deltanewsweb.com. Luminarias are available for a donation of $5.00 for one or $10.00 for three. There will be luminaria decorating party at the Delta Elementary School on April 3rd from 4:00-6:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome to come and decorate a luminaria for a loved one. All funds raised through these sales support the programs and services of the American Cancer Society.
If you are interested in sponsoring, please contact Denise Coakley at 895-5029 or 590-9382, or Sharon Waldo at 895-4731 or 460-1929 no later than March 7, 2008 to assure you will be included on our sponsor list for our T-shirts (if applicable). If you are interested in participating, we would need to know by March 7th also, so we know how many t-shirts to order. If you are interested in volunteering or donating, you may contact either Denise or Sharon at any time before May 9, 2008.
