Relay for Life ~ Sunlake High School in Land O'Lakes By Photo Journalist Margeaux Melendez

Tuesday, Apr 09, 2013 | On Target Page: Land O'Lakes, American Cancer Society - Relay for Life
When we walk together, we are BIGGER than cancer! Relay For Life is a fundraising walk to support the American Cancer Society. Relay is an 18 hour journey starting at 6:00 PM and lasts throughout the night until 12 Noon the next day. It is being held at Sunlake High School. Relay For Life is a fun, family friendly event where the community gathers to support those battling cancer and remember loved ones lost. Throughout the night attendees can enjoy all kinds of entertainment, participate in games & activities and walk in many different themed laps like dressing as your favorite superhero or putting on your favorite sports attire. Teams sold food for minimal donations and holding chance drawings for great prizes as final fundraisers
Relay is overnight is because we utilize the light of day and dark of night to parallel the physical effects, emotions and mental state of a cancer patient while undergoing treatment. You are not required to stay the entire time but if you do we promise you will see what a life changing experience Relay For Life can be!
Survivors of Cancer & Caregivers of Cancer Patients are recognized very special at our event! They are treated to a FREE T-Shirt, VIP seating at our opening ceremonies, they walk in our very first lap known as the Survivors Victory Lap if they are able to do so, they are then treated to a FREE catered dinner, given a FREE gift and recognized during our Luminaria Ceremony!!
