Lower Shore Young Republicans Relay

Dear Friends and Family,

The fight against cancer goes on. There is no one I know who can say they DO NOT have a friend or relative that has battled this terrible disease. The Young Republicans have found a way to help in the fight against cancer- through the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

Relay for Life is a team event that celebrates cancer survivors, and raises funds for the American Cancer Society research, education, prevention, advocacy and patient services. It is a fun, outdoor and overnight fundraising event where teams take turns walking or running around a track. Our team will be joined by hundreds of others September 26th and 27th at the Arthur W. Perdue Stadium. Millions of people take part in Relay for Life events around the country and it raises over 40% of the funding for the American Cancer Society.

The Relay starts off with a Survivor's Walk, where cancer survivors walk the initial lap, symbolizing the courage that survivors and their families display and sustain in their lives. On the opening night, there is a beautiful and touching Luminaria Ceremony that pays tribute to cancer survivors and to loved ones who still live on in our hearts.
