8th Annual Relay for Life of Loveland
So far, we have Teams: 20 and there are still 22 days until Relay!
Dear Loveland Magazine,
The American Cancer Society will be holding it’s 8th annual Relay for Life of Loveland from 6 PM on June 6 until noon on June 7 at the Loveland High School track.
Everyone in Loveland who has been touched by cancer is invited to attend. This team event builds friendship among team members by having fun and raising money for the fight against cancer. It’s the perfect team-building event for any organization.
The event consists of teams who spend 18 hour together in efforts to raise money and fight cancer. Each team has at least one member walking or running the track during the entire event.
Relay for Life is about celebrating, remembering and fighting back.
The society celebrates cancer survivors by inviting all local cancer survivors to start each Relay event. The Survivors Lap honors those who have won their fight against cancer and those who are currently undergoing treatment. This lap is followed by a dinner sponsored by Loveland Epiphany Church.
The Society remembers all those touched with cancer with the Luminaria Ceremony after dusk. The track is lined with luminaria marked with the names of those who survived and those who lost their battle with cancer.
The Society fights back by raising money for research, education, local patient services, and advocacy.
The event is also filled with music, live entertainment, games and other activities. This year, the Relay for Life of Loveland will be enjoying the theme of Olympics and many activities and decorating around this theme will be happening for 18 hours.
We hope to raise $45,000 from this year’s event. To reach our goal, we need your support! By forming a team from your company, church, school, neighborhood, family, etc., you will not only be part of a great community event, but you will raise funds to improve the quality of life for cancer patients today and the outlook for those diagnosed in the future.
Visit our website at http://events.cancer.org/rfllovelandoh and sign up a team today, register a survivor to participate, purchase a luminaria or make a donation, or contact Loveland’s ACS partner Alice Sowers at 1-888-ACS.OHIO ext. 4212 or via email at alice.sowers@cancer.org.
It’s about being a community that takes up the fight!
