Join the Relay Committee! We are still looking
for volunteers who would like to help with the organization of this
year's Relay. If you would like to join or obtain information please
contact Felicia Sabartinelli, felicia.sabartinelli@cancer.org, or (907)
273-2072. This year the Mat-Su Relay theme is "Spring for a Cure". Teams, join in the Relay theme by picking your own related Relay theme. Individual examples are flowers, camping, fishing, carnival, butterflies, gardening, Spring Break, picnics, spring sports, spring holiday (St. Patrick's Day, April Fools, Easter, Earth Day), Pogo Sticks, etc. You can make up your own.)
As soon as you pick your team theme, email it to Felicia.Sabartinelli@cancer.org to make sure each is unique. Each team is responsible for decorating their campsite in theme, complete with costumes (if you would like). Win prizes! We will have contests for Best Campsite, Best Costumes, etc. One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® is a life-changing event that brings together more than 3.5 million people across the country each year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.

This year marks the beginning of our celebration of 25 years of Relay For Life®. Sign up or donate today and join us to mark this milestone and the successes we’ve achieved together during the last 25 years. Between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009, Relay For Life® communities nationwide are hosting special “Show Us Your HOPE” activities that visually depict the passion Relayers have for the fight against cancer. Ideally, these activities are separate from Relay For Life® events and demonstrate how the American Cancer Society in our community celebrates survivors, remembers loved ones lost and fights back against cancer through Relay For Life®. Learn more about Show Us Your HOPE or about Relay For Life® and how together we can Celebrate, Remember, and Fight Back against cancer!
