Subject: 25 years of Hope
Relay for Life is in its 25th year nationwide as a fund-raising event for the American Cancer Society. This is an exciting year for the Relay for Life as we are celebrating 25 years of Hope in 2009.
It is an event that celebrates the lives of those who have battled cancer, honoring those who have survived and remembering those who have succumbed to it.
Some 3.5 million people across the country take part in Relay for Life events each year. People form teams to raise money for the American Cancer Society, using several different methods to raise the money for months before the event, and even at the event itself.
The Pittsboro Relay for Life event will be held this year on Saturday May the 16th from 7:00am until Sunday May the 17th at 8:00am. That is 25 hours of Relay in the 25th year of Relay. What would you do with your 25th hour?
Please join a team, be a sponsor or join the committee. Please join our community event on January the 27th. at 6:30 p.m. being held at the General Store to kick off this year’s event.
