Newport News Relay For Life

 

This was the  first year for our Relay Team here in the PCI Newport News office. We chose “Movers and Shakers” for our team name. We move in and shake out the cancer! We have 19 members on our team. This year the Newport News Relay took place at Todd Stadium. We had a great time out there. Some of our team members stayed the whole night.  To raise money for Relay, our team had a bake sale and several yummy themed lunches for our employees—for donations, of course.   Our team captain, Jennifer Neal, led our team in raising close to $3,000.00. The entire Newport News Relay for Life Event raised over $300,000 in all! Our team is now brainstorming new ways to raise money already for next year’s Relay. 

 

Great Job, Newport News!!!!

Gloucester Relay For Life

 

The Gloucester Relay for Life was held on June 1st at the Gloucester High School track.  Gloucester raised a total of $154,850, and $2300 of that was raised by PCI’s Gloucester team.  Team captains, Liz and Tina are glowing with pride as we are with them.  We held several fundraising events. The first was a Krispy Kreme doughnut sale in front of our local Walmart.  It was a cold and windy day but we managed just fine.  Our next fundraiser was a community Relay yard sale.  We cleaned out our closets and garages, spent the day out in the sunshine, and raised some money too.  We held a luncheon in our office.  Everyone brought in a dish and we sold lunch   tickets to other offices for $5 each.  This was quite interesting in our small space, so we did end up making the meal a take out only affair.  The last  fundraiser was a fishing tournament held at Gloucester Point.  That was lots of fun!  Other money was raised in the office selling various items and conducting various raffles.  We also had a generous donation from Radiation Oncology.

 

Great Team Work, Gloucester!!!!
