Hello All,
It is time once again for the Relay for Life - August
24th at 10am - August 25th at 10am. This year team PJCC will cover ALL 24
hours of our organized, overnight community fundraising walk to fight
cancer. A big thanks to Cynthia and Maggie at the PJCC who have
volunteered to cover the 3:00am and 4:00am spots. Since those spots
are taken I know many of you are sadly disappointed, but we still have
several late night spots available from 1:00am - 3:00am, or early am from
5:00am on Sunday. Last year there was such an overwhelming response to
the middle of the night walking, I wouldn't wait too long to grab your
time slot! (Side note, if you sign up for the team and don't tell
me your time choices, you will be given a crazy middle of
the night time by default!).
If for some reason you don't want to camp overnight, or walk
in the middle of the night (is that possible?), there are many other
ways to help our team on Saturday mid-day and into
the evening. We will need people to man either the PJCC, or the
Luminaria Booth, or to walk the track. There will be food, games and
activities to provide entertainment and build camaraderie through out all 24
hours. Join us for this family-friendly environment for the entire
community.
In the evening there will a very
special event - the Luminaria Ceremony - starting 7:45pm.
Luminaria bags are transformed and illuminated after dark at every local Relay
For Life event. Each luminaria is personalized with a name, photo, message or
drawing in memory or honor of a friend or loved one who has been affected by
cancer. Luminaria can also be dedicated in support of a Relay participant. Each
luminaria candle represents a person. They are our mothers, fathers, sisters,
brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, friends, coworkers, and so many
others.
If you wish to decorate a bag in honor or in memory of a
friend or loved one who has been affected by cancer, you may pick up a bag at
the PJCC or contact me directly. We will also be decorating bags on the
day of the event. Additionally, you may dedicate your bag on line by
clicking the link below and we will decorate your bag and place it around the
track.
If you are not able to join our team, and wish only to
contribute towards this great cause, please click on the link below, find the
city - Foster City and the Team - PJCC.
Thank you all again for your help in the fight against
cancer! Vicki
