Relay For Life®
May 17-18, 2008
Lynnwood High School

One day. One night. One community:  By participating in an American Cancer Society Relay For Life® event, we honor cancer survivors, pay tribute to the lives lost to the disease, and raise money to help fight it – all right in our community.

Much more than a walk around a track, Relay is a time to celebrate those who have battled cancer, remember those lost and get inspired to fight back. Those who have shared the same experience find common ground, hope and healing at Relay. By participating, we have the power to continue the American Cancer Society's progress toward a future where cancer doesn't take the lives of our friends and family.
When the sun goes down, hundreds of luminarias light the way under the stars and a moment of silence falls during the ceremony of hope. Luminarias are glowing bags that on first glance appear to be nothing more than paper sacks filled with sand and candles. But upon closer examination, these bags represent people, each with a name and a story to tell.

The ceremony of hope is one of the most special and moving events in the entire Relay For Life®™. Everyone gathers around to remember those lost to cancer, support those fighting cancer, and rejoice with those who have fought the disease and won.

You can honor a cancer survivor by placing their name under “In Honor Of" or you can remember someone who has lost their battle by placing the name under “In Memory Of.” Each individual’s name will appear on a luminaria and will be lit during the Luminaria Ceremony at the Relay For Life®™.

Your contribution will save lives, help those touched by cancer, and empower people to fight back.
