    Luminaria LanternLaunch

    At dusk on July 28th, we honoredour loved ones with a special Luminaria

    Lantern launch. Each team was able topurchase these lanterns and write a

    special quote or the name of the lovedone they had lost to cancer.

    Ladies Night Out

    Calling all Ladies! Several of our

    Edwardsburg Teams hosted Ladies NightOut that brought us some of the best

    vendors from Thirty-One, Pampered Chef,

    Dove Chocolates and much more to

    support Relay For Life and provide women(and men) an opportunity to shop, enjoysome food and win door prizes! Thank youto all that came out and supported Ladies

    Night Out.

    The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-

    changing event that gives everyone in communities

    across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of

    people who have battled cancer, remember loved oneslost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay,

    teams of people camp out at a local high school, park,

    or fairground and take turns walking around a track or

    path. Each team is asked to have a representative on

    the track at all times during the event. Because cancernever sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24

    hours in length.

    Create a Tree of Hope in your workplace,

    community or church by setting up a lit Christma

    to which cut out angels or stars can be added in

    memory or in honor of a loved one for a small

    donation.

    Another idea is to have a Tree of Light ceremo

    December. Offer bulbs for a minimum donation o

    each in honor or memory of someone touched b

    cancer. Then have a Lighting ceremony early in

    December and keep the tree lit until Christmas is

    A great location would be the front lawn of your

    hospital.

    Several teams have done Christmas Wreath sale

    Order your fresh wreaths from the mountains of

    North Carolina for a cost of around $8 each. Have

    ladies group place bows on each one for a total

    wreath cost of under $10. Then offer the wreathminimum donation of $20 to $25 in your commu
