Adopt-A-Survivor• Goal: Every team have at least one survivor!• Who is a survivor?

– Anyone who currently has or previously had cancer– Does not necessarily have to have beaten cancer

• Survivors do not need to be present at Relay, but can be “adopted” by a team

• If you know any survivors, invite them to the event! • Get their information so they can be on mailing list for

free game tickets, etc.

** Have them to register online!

Keep up Luminaria Sales!

$10/luminaria—goes towards your individual and team total

Can purchase the evening of the event BUT the more by Bank Night the better!

Luminaria SpeakersWe are still in need of“speakers” who are willingto share their story orfight against cancer,whether they battled itthemselvesor were a caregiver.*They will share their story via posters, so no actual

speaking is done.

Luminaria Speakers

Just as cancer comes in many forms, so does its stories and battles. Any story,

resulting in life, death, sadness or happiness is a perfect contribution to the

ceremony.

*Please contact Allie Corrigan, Kayla Brimeyer, Charlotte Fostey, or any Relay committee member if you know anyone willing to “speak”/share their story on a poster for the Luminaria Ceremony.
