Local Relay for Life Team Forming
The
American Cancer Society’s Annual Relay For Life event is coming up soon. The
Howard/Glasscock Counties relay is scheduled for May 14 – 15, 2010, at
Blankenship Field in
The team
will consist of youth, adult volunteers and Extension agents.
Any youth, kindergarten through a senior in high school may participate.
It is mandatory that each kindergarten through second grade student have
a parent or designated adult chaperone attend with them.
Each person attending, youth or
adult, must register as a team member to participate! (Armbands are required to
be worn, and if you don’t register, you won’t receive one or be able to stay on
grounds after midnight.)
PARTICIPANTS WILL BE CHALLENGED TO COLLECT A MINIMUM OF $100 IN DONATIONS.
*You will be required to put $100 minimum as a personal goal when you
register online, although it is not a commitment.
**Team fund-raisers will be conducted to offset this amount.
The first team fund-raiser will
be the Coaches vs. Cancer event conducted in conjunction with the GCISD
basketball games on Tues., Feb. 9.
If you don’t have Internet access, contact the Extension office to set up a time
to register and/or make a donation.
Online participant registration
is being conducted this year again instead of paper forms.
