We had our Relay for Life Kick-Off last night. It was held at the Nazarene Church here in town. Don and I are on the Planning Committee plus Don is heading up the Food Committee. So we were not going to be a Team Captains this year but some people who were there last night asked if they could be on Don's team this year, so guess who is team captains again this year! We enjoy doing it, it is just a lot of work.
We were discouraged last year since we were not able to raise very much money. I think we had the lowest amount raised. How embarrassing. So this year we are starting early, like I am beginning today! Cellular Recycler is teaming up with the American Cancer Society to donate money for old cell phones. I have ordered all of the necessary materials to collect the old/unused cell phones and I am going to announce today in church for people to begin collecting their old cell phones and to bring them in to me. Anything little thing can help.
Both of our families have been affected by this terrible thing called cancer. I don't think there is a person out there who hasn't had at least one person in their family affected by this. This fund raiser then is very important to us. Maybe some day with the help of all this money being raised for research, they will finally find a cure.
If you would like to help find a cure, be sure to check out the American Cancer Society's website to find out what you can do.
