RELAY FOR LIFE

Bloemfontein

17 MARCH 2012

FREE STATE ATHELTICS STADIUM

 

The Relay will be 17 March 2012 –Saturday evening to Sunday morning.

A team consist of 8 – 15 members with a team captain.  Teams are given a designated area where they can camp for the night. You may brand our camp site and bring along a gazebo,  sleeping bags, camping chairs etc. You can choose a team name and dress according to a  theme as well.  Each team must have a positive cancer message and this must be visible

at your camp.

Registration fee is R600.00 and teams are asked to do fund raising as well. 

We have given teams targets of R5000.00 or more.  Fund raising must start as soon as possible so that you don’t have to worry too much weeks before the Relay.

On the night of the Relay each team must have a stall where you can sell food / beverages or

anything else, this is to keep teams sustained and active during the Relay.  The funds made here are the cherry on top.  It is important to confirm your stall in advance so the we don’t have duplicating teams.   If you sell anything, you first cover your costs and then the rest gets donated to CANSA. We have prizes for the team with the most spirit, best slogan and the team that generates  the most funds.

When you register you receive 10 luminaria bags that you can hand out to family or friends that

 lost someone to cancer or have a family member undergoing treatment,  they decorate the bag

 with their loved one’s name and the bags must be back at CANSA by February 2012. 

These bags will have a candle that is lit during the luminaria ceremony and light the track.

The programme is as follows:

16H00: Team arrival and set up

18H00:  Opening Ceremony – short  welcome to all and our survivors

 Survivor’s lap

 Care givers lap

 Teams are introduced and all do a lap

 Luminaria ceremony and light of candles

 HOPE sign lights up

 1 member per team on the track at all times

 Entertainment, including live entertainment through-out the night to keep the teams on the go.

 Fight back ceremony

05H30 Closing ceremony, all clean up their stands and go and have a well deserved sleep.

 

Regular team captain meetings are held to motivate the teams and to ensure that all teams

know and understand how the Relay works. Please let me know if you would like me to address

your team.  With registration you receive two envelopes. Please advise whether you will collect them from CANSA or would you like me to deliver them to you. I look forward to seeing you on the track.

CELEBRATE WITH SURVIVORS

REMEMBER THOSE WHO LOST THEIR BATTLE

FIGHT BACK BY TAKING A STAND AGAINST CANCER

HOPE TO THOSE LIVING WITH CANCER
