The American Cancer Society Relay for Life will be at John Carroll University on April 22 and 23. This is the first of what will hopefully become an annual event and it is a great opportunity to raise awareness and money for research and programs for the Cancer Society. The first week to sign up to create a team to participate in the relay is here. Make the Relay for Life a success!
This year John Carroll University will proudly add its name to the list of 330 colleges who had a relay on their campus last year. The relay will take place on the quad, beginning at 4 p.m. on Saturday and will continue until 4 p.m. on Sunday. A core team of students organized the event. After a long struggle throughout the first semester, they are ready for the relay and ask that you form a team, learn about the Cancer Society and raise money.
What better way to have fun with your friends than to enjoy a night filled with community, food and entertainment on the quad? Do not fear, if staying up all night does not seem like fun to you, rest assured that there is plenty of time for you to catch a nap, your team members take turns walking all night. Supporting the Relay for Life is easy. Form a team with your friends, floor mates, club members or team members. Raise money for your team and reserve a luminary in memory or support of a loved one who has battled cancer.
The relay, which first began in the mid-1980s, is one of the best ways to bring awareness about cancer to college campuses. Participate in John Carroll University’s Relay for Life. Be sure to check out the Relay for Life table in the atrium for more information or go to www.jcu.edu/relay.
