2013 Quaker Valley Relay For Life

The 2013 QV Relay For Life - dedicated to Dawn Patterson - will be held on June 1st (noon kickoff) at the QV High School Stadium; please join us!

“YOU HAVE CANCER” surely has to be three of the scariest words ever spoken. And yet … we are not without hope and more importantly, the opportunity to make a difference.  June 1, 2013, each of you will have a chance to do something in the fight against this dreadful disease AND have fun doing it.  The 9th Annual Quaker Valley Relay For Life - Dedicated to Dawn Patterson - will be held at the QV High School Stadium.  During the event, we will have live music from local bands, games for the whole family, Touch-A-Truck, crafts,  Bingo, Ceremonies, silly challenges and fireworks.  Roll around in a life-sized hamster ball, buy a hot dog or have your face painted – there is something for everyone to enjoy!  Most importantly, walk the track as a way of showing support for your family and friends who have been afflicted by this dreadful disease. The festivities begin at 12:00 PM and will continue until 8:00 AM on Saturday.  Please find an hour (or two) for your family to participate in this event.  If you would like additional information, please contact Barbara Cooley Thaw at bcthaw@aol.com or visit our website: www.relayforlife.org/paquakervalley.
