Relay for Life
Information
Each year Friends of
Perrysburg forms a team to walk in the Perrysburg annual Relay for Life
held at Rivercrest Park in mid-June. It's a community wide event and is a great way
to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
Now is
the time to get ready for Relay for Life! Relay for Life is a team event
(yes, that means you!) held in various cities all across America to raise
money for the American Cancer Society. You, your spouse, your children and
your friends can all participate in this event. It’s open to the community
and a lot of fun! Last year our team raised over $2000 and we are already
on our way this year!
As with
any fundraiser, the American Cancer Society has asked that each team member
pledge $100. Because we, your co-captains, don’t expect each of you to
solicit monetary donations, we organize various mini-fundraisers throughout
the year to raise money for our team.
This year our team hopes
to raise $ for the ACS and get the support of the entire Friends of Perrysburg
organization. Whether you can walk 30 minutes, buy a luminary, or
make a donation, we appreciate your support. If you are
interested in joining the team, please don't hesitate. It's a
wonderfully fun event! Please contact team captains, Joy at joy14@accesstoledo.com
or Chris at ccady@bex.net for more
information. We'd love to have you join us!

Fundraisers
RFL Spring Flower Fundraiser
We are
now moving onto our next mini-fundraiser that we hope will bring in
mega-money! The good people at Hoen’s Greenhouse will be supplying all the
quality flowers for us. There are various flowers, hanging baskets and
vegetable plants to choose from. A complete order form follows with pricing
information and flower descriptions.
Spring
signifies new life and hope, as does the American Cancer Society’s Relay for
Life. We sincerely hope that you become part of our team by participating
in the event and supporting the event financially by helping to sell
flowers. You can sell flowers to anyone! You will collect the money at
time of sale. All vouchers and checks
(made out to Friends of Perrysburg) are due by April 25, 2008.
Your customers can pick up their flowers
between May 1 – May 9 at Hoen’s Greenhouse. Their selection is vast and
you’ll be impressed with their quality. Please contact Joy at joy14@accesstoledo.com

Thank you to everyone
who purchased and/or sold poinsettias for the Relay for Life Team.

We've made a great start to our team fundraising efforts!
Beach Party 2007
Recap
What a fabulous time we had at the
American Cancer Society Relay for Life this past June! Thank you to
everyone who donated or came out and walked with us for such a worthy
cause! We raised just under $2000 and couldn't have done it without
all of your support!
Beach Party 2007
This
year FOP will be bringing a Beach
Theme to the ACS’ Relay for Life from June 15 – 16 at
Rivercrest
Park
.
Relay for Life is a fun, team-based overnight event.
As each Relay begins, teams pitch tents and decorate their
campsite. They set out food,
games and sleeping bags that will keep them going throughout the event.
Then in a moving tribute to survivorship, cancer survivors from the
community kick off the Relay by walking a victory lap around the track
known as the Survivors’ Lap. A
luminary ceremony to honor those affected by cancer is held at dusk.
Lit candles are placed in bags bearing the names of both survivors
and those lost to the disease (A luminary order form is attached to this
newsletter). Throughout the
evening and into the next day, everyone enjoys entertainment, fun, and
camaraderie.
Though
every team has a great time at the annual ACS Relay for Life event in
Perrysburg each year, we need to remember the real reason we are
all getting together: Raising money for Research and for Services to support Cancer Patients
and their Families. This
year FOP has sponsored two fundraising events to raise money for our Team.
We sold poinsettias during the holiday season and took part in a
fundraising event sponsored by Max & Erma’s.
We still have a lot more to do to reach our Team goal of $1500.
If
you’ve never been a part of a Relay before this is the year to get
involved! This is a team
event, so we need everyone’s participation.
This is a community wide event and thousands of Perrysburg citizens
will be there sharing in the fun. Don’t
miss out! Learn more about the
event and what you can do at our Team
meeting, Tuesday, April 10th from
7 – 8 pm
at the home of Joy Ermie.
Cancer has affected each and every one of us in one way or another;
now is our chance to come together to raise money to find a cure!
