My 8 year old daughter is very excited about Relay this year.  She has come up with her own way to raise money for ACS.  Please visit her page to read about her efforts and help if you can!!

Each team has been asked to bring a trinket for each survivor that will be at our relay. After the survivor lap and before the luminaria ceremony, the survivors will "trick or treat" at each campsite where we will give them each a little trinket. I would appreciate any ideas anyone might have for a little trinket that would be easy to make and/or very inexpensive as we are hoping to have at least 190 survivors this year. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Teri

Hi!

 I am looking for ideas for a Team Captain meeting.  I have done a "Fight Back" theme, and our next will be "Remember."  I am looking for ideas to make it fun, engaging and informative.  Most of our Team Captains are new to relay, and new to being captains.  Any input would be great.

Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience in putting together a team of survivors who may otherwise have no team affiliation and most likely have never met the other team members before joining the team?

We're trying something new to encourage survivor participation after the opening ceremony...

The stars were out in full force on Friday April 29th in Itawamba County, Mississippi ready to Celebrate, Remember and to Fight Back.

The teams were out in full force in support of the life saving mission of the American Cancer Society. The Survivors were honored with a RED CARPET Celebration....

This was an awesome event that exceeded goal by over $20,000. All involved should be congratulated on a great event. Congratulations and thank you Itawamba County, Mississippi for your awesome support of the American Cancer Societya and for making a difference in the lives of so many.

Our plans have changed and the CarpClan will return to the Bangor High School Field for RFL!!!!!  The Carpio Girls and I are taking a summer-long trip that will touch all 48 states in the Contiguous US.  We leave at 5am on Sunday June 8th.  So we will be spending the 7th on the track in support of the ACS and RFL.

I sure hope you'll join us!!!!

I just signed onto this site and I want to send out an email to everyone I know to let them know that I am doing this how do you add names to the contact list.  Thanks 

I'm the Vice-Chair for the Mishawaka, IN Relay.  I'm looking for antecdotes, ideas, experiences with the new "Fight Back" ceremony.  We were able to book a very well known motivational speaker for our ceremony, but I do not want to have him read the ACS script word for word, he is too good to read from a page.  Has anybody done anything creative/non-scripted for their speakers at the Fight Back Ceremony?

I entered team members twice in error.  How do I delete the duplicates?
