Hello Everyone, I hope you are well and taking care of yourself and your families. Please read the message from ACS below. Thank you for being a part of this community!

Based on current guidance and out of an abundance of caution, the American Cancer Society has extended the suspension of all events through mid-May. We are extremely grateful to all the volunteers, participants, and sponsors who have worked to make Relay For Life events a success. Your efforts will make an impact on those fighting cancer, and we’re looking forward to continuing the conversation with our volunteers virtually on new and creative ways to support Relay For Life.

Friendly reminder we're meeting at Lafayette Public Library (775 W Baseline Rd) tomorrow at 6PM to discuss the future of our Boulder Relay For Life! We would love to hear from as many people as possible what you want Relay to look like in 2020 and beyond!

We'll be in the conference room on the lower level.
