As newly appointed survivor chair, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on the survivor celebration.  We hope for our Relay to get all the survivors under a large tent donated by the local junior college.  There they can register, get their shirts, collect a balloon, have a seat, talk with others, etc. until the opening ceremonies.  I was wondering if anyone had ideas on foods, items to have at the tent, etc. 

 We've tossed around the idea of a goody bag with maybe an apple, granola bar, bottle of water, etc.  and having a table with "snacks"...our event is May 30-31...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

At our Relay we host our survivor reception the 2 hours prior to opening ceremonies.  For food we provide (all donated) pretzels, cookies, water/juice, fruit tray, veggie tray, pinwheel appetizer.  We've tried cake before, but it doesn't seem to get eaten.  In our goodie bags we provide a booklet of uplifting survivor related quotes, bookmark/magnet, etc with our theme quote/poem printed on it, ACS information, HOPE stones, donated gift certificates, relay for life cardboard fan, lotions, etc.  We also provide a survivor medal (each year the survivors get a new pin with the year on it) and a tshirt.  In the tent we offer massages, manicures, advocacy (picture a cure), caregiver thank you station.  GOOD LUCK!
