Rally is all about registering, picking a campsite, and learning about fundraising ideas!
Quality Hotel & Suites is location for information night; Relay is June 10
There will likely be no fireworks or even a marching band, but the annual Relay Rally to kickoff the Relay For Life fundraising efforts and team recruitment is set for Wednesday, Feb 24, 5 – 7:30 p.m. at the Quality Hotel & Suites on Bruin Blvd in Woodstock.
The Canadian Cancer Society and organizing committee are excited about this year’s Relay For Life at College Avenue Secondary School on Friday, June 10 (7 p.m. – 1 a.m.), and the Rally is the public promotion event to build awareness and to begin the countdown: Ready? Set. Relay!
Sandy Smith
Deb Moss
Committee co-chairs from last year have both returned in Sandy Smith and Deb Moss, and the organizing crew has many familiar faces, but we can always use more dedicated volunteers. Here’s a contact list of sub-committee representatives for you to contact if you would like to volunteer in a larger role yourself. For example, if you have a background in finance, you may want to volunteer for bank night on June 7 (also at CASS). If you have a background in hydro or carpentry, you may want to volunteer on the day of the event with the logistics team as they expertly deal with tents, a stage, generators and other set up tasks.

RELAY RALLY
Save The Date
Wednesday, Feb 24, 5 – 7:30
Quality Hotel & Suites
The Rally is a terrific venue to register yourself or your entire team for Relay For Life, but also pick up information on fundraising. The registration fee for all participants is $15, but anyone signing up as a cancer survivor to join the Survivor’s Lap is free.
Brochures about cancer will be available – cancer prevention and advice following a diagnosis.
At the Rally, you can select your campsite as the idea of reserving one space on the inside of the track for your team returns in 2016.
Also at the Rally, you may purchase a luminary (The registration fee does not include one luminary this year) or two or five.
The evening is an informal open house format, so you may talk one-on-one to various committee members, sign up as a volunteer, learn about sponsorship or corporate donations, and enjoy the refreshments as supplied by Relay For Life sponsor the Quality Hotel & Suites.
