June 25, 2016 – a day of celebration! The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is from 2 to 10 pm. on the track at Mountain View High School, 3500 Mountain Lion Dr., Loveland. It’s a day of fun for the whole family. Team campsites lining the track are decorated with the year’s theme, ‘May the Cure Be With You.’
The Opening Ceremony is at 2 pm. Followed by food, music, games, and a Silent Auction. Relay Teams have raised funds for the past year to help ‘Finish the Fight’ against cancer. Teams walk the track, and participate in activities. Teams have food and Relay memorabilia ready for donations.
Cancer Survivors and their Caregivers take to the track at 5:00 pm and continue their fight for a cure. Cancer Survivors and a Caregiver are invited to dinner at 5:30 pm.
At dark, our Luminaria Ceremony helps us remember those we lost to cancer, honor those who fought cancer in the past, and support those who continue to fight. Lighted luminaria bags, decorated for loved ones, line the track as we walk a lap in their honor. We then honor several survivors who have been nominated as Torch Bearers to represent all cancer survivors present.
The event wraps up with a call to Fight Back against cancer by setting personal and team goals. For more information or to join, start, or contribute to an existing team/participant, visit our website www.relayforlife.org/lovelandco/.
