Save the Date: SAT. MAY 19 - American Cancer Society's RELAY FOR LIFE where there's something for everyone!

Make a difference by participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. Relay is a 24-hour event open to the public from 11am - 10pm. Admission is FREE. Proceeds from food sales, games, raffle baskets, the silent auction, and the craft show all go to the American Cancer Society.

Throughout the day and night, teams and individuals take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. The Opening Ceremony and Team Laps start at 11am and will be followed by live entertainment and a Craft Show 11:30am-3pm featuring local artists and their handcrafted items. The Children's Lap and Story Hour with Miss Michelle will take place 11:45am-12:45pm. Great prizes and gifts are available in the Raffle Basket / Silent Auction Tent from 11:30am to 8:30pm at which time winners will be picked and announced. Don't miss performances by Spirit Gymnastics at 1:30 and the Institute of Dance Artistry at 3pm with a surpise performance in between. Our 3rd annual Ms. Relay contest begins at 4pm (guys dress as girls and compete). At 5:30pm, there is a dinner FREE for cancer survivors and their caregivers. Survivor and Caregivers speak at 7pm and are followed by a Victory Lap. At 9pm, there is a Luminary Ceremony honoring those who are battling and have battled cancer.

Saving lives from cancer starts one team, one participant, and one dollar at a time. Do your part to make sure that cancer never steals another year of anyone's life. Come to Relay on Saturday May 19, or visit our website www.relayforlife.org/pawv to donate or for more information.

The impact we can make together is much greater than what any of us could do alone!
