Hey everyone,

I just signed on to be the Entertainment/Activities Chair for my Relay in June. Very excited! But we are having a carnival theme relay this year...any ideas on what activities would be good to have?

Thanks!

Birthday Themed Ideas

Hello everyone! This year we're doing a BIRTHDAY theme for our Relay. I was wondering if anyone else has ever used this theme and if you had any ideas for activities, creative decorations, games, on-site fundraisers... anything really! :)

Thanks in advance!

Survivor Activities

Hey Everyone!!

So, this is my 2nd year on the Committee and 1st year as Chair. However, it's our community's 10th anniversary for RFL so we want a HUGE event!

We are getting things started with a Relay Rally Fall Festival. I need some help with suggestions for things for our survivors to do. We have some extra t-shirts, so we're bringing those for survivors who registered. But what else can we do? The Festival is going to be an all day event with 5K run, kids activities, Cruise In and Burn Out Contest, Bike Parade, pumpkin carving.... you get the picture. It's not only a great mission opprotunity but also a fundraising one. Now, I just need help to make it special for our survivors.

Help, please!!

Paint the town purple

This is the first year our team is having this type of event. We are going to paint our church purple! From what I've seen this is more of an informational event, but I would like to have some fundraising involved as well...any ideas???

Hooray 4 Hollywood Site Activities at the Merrill Relay for Life

valzstarz — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 21:14:19 -0400

Our Hollywood stars are going to be shining brightly so we hope everyone will stop by to have a mini Photo Shoot

at our booth! We will have several props and fun backgrounds and place your face photo opportunities

to help raise money for the cure :). We also will have treats, bottled water and fun items for purchase to name a few.

One of the fun features of this team is that during the event if you spot one of our Hollywood walkers before any

one else does you will receive a free 50/50 raffle ticket which could win you half of the money collected this year

by our team raffle. We can't wait to see you all there and I am sure we will be easy to spot! Remember you are all

stars for supporting this event soooooo HOORAY 4 YOU 2.

Entertainment Agreement

teenalee — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:41:36 -0400

Is there a way of members uploading things to the site? I have an entertainers agreement that seemed to be
popular but my relay email was down for months and I'm guessing I never got it forwarded to those that
were interested. I thought maybe I could just have it posted here and anyone could use it.

Thanks,

Ms Relay Questions

Prettyclown — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 02:30:39 -0400

This is my third year chairing the entertainment committee, and some how I've lost my master list of Ms Relay interview questions. My Relay is this Saturday (that soon? I have so much to do!!!) and I was hoping that some of you entertainment chairs could help me out. Anyone have a list they could e-mail to me? I'd super appreciate it! Otherwise, if you can post your suggestions here, I'll try to make sure I log in within the next 24 hours to get the input!

Thanks in advance, and good luck with Relay, everyone!!!

Popular Night Activities

janellerenee24 — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 22:27:53 -0400

In hopes of having something entertaining at night, I was thinking about doing a dance party (maybe making it a prom theme or something). In the past, our relay has shown movies at night and I feel like it just encourages people to sleep and contradicts the whole idea of having a 24 hour event.

Has anyone ever done anything like this? Suggestions as to what lively activities for night would be really helpful!

Movies under the stars

a_wagner86 — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:48:47 -0400

I am planning the entertainment for our relay in September and I'm trying to find some new ways of keeping participants at relay. Has anyone ever played movies during relay? How did it go? Will showing a movie defeat the purpose of walking all night? I am very conflicted about showing a movie during the relay. Any suggestions?
