If you or someone you know of has been affected by cancer this is your opportunity to celebrate life... and provide HOPE to the millions of people that will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
"Relay for Life" is a non-competitive 12hr relay that the Canadian Cancer Society has organized since 2001 to give families and friends a venue to celebrate life and provide HOPE. Check out www.cancer.ca for more info on the Canadian Cancer Society and Relay for Life.
Why Team EOC:
Many of us in the club have friends, family and co-workers that have been affected by cancer. In fact, some members have been diagnosed with cancer at some point in their life. This is an opportunity for us as a club to make a difference in our community for people we know and people we have never met that have been or will be diagnosed with cancer. Together we will be working as a team to raise money to fund cancer research, support and prevention programs as well as funding the Canadian Cancer Society’s unique volunteer driver program.
How it works:
- Teams of 10 or more are given a tent site within “tent city” that they get to decorate according to their theme. This site will be your home for the next 12 hours while you walk around the track and celebrate life with 2,000 others.
- All food will be provided but you are welcome to bring outside food in to drink and eat. Please keep in mind this is a family event so there is no alcohol permitted.
- Teams are encouraged to do some fundraising to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society, which will be utilized for funding cancer research, support and prevention programs as well as their unique volunteer driver program.
