Williamsburg Relay For Life This year, the Williamsburg Relay For Life has raised $280,000 with a significant amount yet to be turned in. Looks like the $300,000 goal will be well surpassed. There were 56 teams present and 1000 (very rough figure) people present, not including survivors. Hundreds of survivors were in attendance at the survivors’ reception and walk. The Williamsburg PCI Team (“E’s Angels”) raised roughly $5,500 towards the cause with more coming in. Our fearless leaders, Mary Zuch and Susan Miller, guided our team through bake sales, jewelry sales, raffles, and dress down day (there is a $2.00 fee to dress down on Fridays) to raise the money from their group. Greg Gernon’s band, “Durn”, and special guest Dr Ellis raised a nice chunk of money for the team when they played a jammin’ 45 minute set at the event. Way to go Williamsburg!!!! |

What is Relay For Life? The American Cancer Society's Relay For Life is a celebration of life in honor of those whose lives have been touched by cancer. Relay For Life involves teams of 8-15 people who take turns walking around a track for 16 hours. A party-like atmosphere prevails as team members enjoy music, food, a silent auction, games and other activities while building camaraderie with fellow teammates and participants. Money is raised through team commitment, fees, and contributions. The money raised helps support American Cancer Society programs in research, education, advocacy, and service– locally, statewide, and nationally. |
