Luminary Bags for Relay for Life

Luminary Bags for Relay for Life

Each year, the Cancer Society sells Luminaries as a way to honor and remember the many people who have been touched by cancer. For 15-20 minutes, walkers walk in silence around the track that is lit only by the shining of candles placed in white bags. It is a very special and moving time.

Luminary Bags are $5.00 for students. Students will be given a bag of which they will decorate. They will return it to school and on the night of the walk, we will add sand and a candle and place it near the Midway tent on the track. At 8:45 the candles will be lit. The Remembrance Walk will begin at 9:00 pm.

This is great way to remember a loved one who has fought cancer; to honor someone who is fighting cancer; to thank someone who has been a caregiver; or to salute those in the medical and science field who work so hard to treat cancer.

If you are interested in purchasing a bag, please return the bottom of this letter along with a check made to Relay for Life. We will send a bag home the same day , if at all possible.

If at all possible, please join us on Friday. May 17 at Westide High School. The celebration begins at 7:00 pm with activities lasting until 1:00 am. The Memory Walk is at 9:00.
