Gresham Relay For Life

03/28/2014

The 2014 Gresham Relay For Life is in on it's way.

We will be at Clear Creek Middle School on June 21, 2014.

For those who are new, Relay is an overnight walk. Team members take turns walking the track. When we are not walking we man team booths that have fun games and items for sale to fundraise money for the American Cancer Society.

Our walk is not for just one type of cancer. We raise money for all types of cancer. It is a wonderful way to support all of the people in your life affected by cancer.

You can click the link below to sign up. You can join a team, sign up a new team or join as an individual.

Join Relay For Life and communities across the globe to fight back against cancer at the Relay For Life of Gresham.

Did you know that Women 40 and over should get yearly mammograms? Regular mammography can detect breast cancer early and save lives. Also Luminaria candles allow us to honor/memorialize those touched by cancer. Think about it Whydo you Relay???

Come join us and play Cancer Lingo Bingo for $1 a card. Funds raised will be going towards the winners fundraising goal. Bring lots of $$$$$ to play.

We have a few fundraisers that we have put together for you as a committee.
The first one being is our monthly Papa's Pizza Fundraisers on the day of our team meetings. Make sure your team is there to be eligible for the drawing for the money raised on those nights. The more team members in attendance the greater your chance to win. Here is a link that you can go to be able to get all the flyers for the fundraisers and be able to make copies and hand out before the meeting. http://www.troovi.com/tApnSaUjezll

If you would like to sell them please bring $33 for the box of candy bars and then sell them for $2 a piece or bring $21.60 for the box of chocolate ribbons and then sell them for $2 apiece. You will earn $.90 percandy bar and $1.40 per ribbon when selling them.

Here are some prizes to look forward to having a chance to win if you are at the meeting:

"RELAY ISN’T AN EVENT, IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO SHARE THEIR STORIES WITH EACHOTHER AND SHARE A COMMON BOND"

Some fundraising ideas that you can do on your own if you would like is to get a 20oz water bottle and fill it up with dimes which will equal out to be $100. You could also fill old film canisters with quarters and get about $7.50.

Please bring decorations with you to decorate your Team Table Tent. A team table tentwill be provided for you to decorate so that we can have a visual to show recognition. When you come to each meeting you will get a gold seal and then you will be able to display it at you campsite at the event.
