American Cancer
Society Relay For Life Hosts Kick Off
(VERSAILLES,
OHIO) – Attend the Relay For Life Kick Off on
Monday, February 11th beginning at 6:30 p.m.
This year’s Kick Off is being held at Shawnee
Prairie, 4267 State Route
502, approximately one half-mile west of Greenville. The Kick Off sets
the
stage for the summer-time event. This year’s Relay For Life has a
jungle theme
of "Don't Monkey Around-We're Wild About Finding a Cure." Ideas will
be shared during the February 11th Kick Off for how teams can support
this theme.
During the Kick Off you’ll see the three key features that draw Darke
County
residents to Relay For Life each year – these important elements center
on the
themes of “Celebrate,” “Remember,” and “Fight Back.”
You will also have the opportunity to network
with Relay For Life team captains and hear their stories of hope along
with
details of why they participate in the event each year. Let their
stories
inspire your participation in Relay For Life July 19-20 2013 – plan to
attend
the community event, volunteer to coordinate an activity, enjoy some
refreshments, or – for the most fun – form a team.
In case you can’t wait for the February 11th Kick Off, here is
something you
might like to know in advance: Relay For Life is not just a way to
raise funds
for research to find a cure for cancer, it’s also an excellent
opportunity to
celebrate with cancer survivors.
Relay For Life is a community-based event which means your neighbors
are
already busy planning the event. To
learn more about how to put together your own team and get some great
fundraising ideas, attend the Relay For Life Kick Off meeting on
Monday,
February 11th beginning at 6:30 p.m.
