Can I download Music for my ceremonies

Hi,
I attended the Springfield, Ma summit in November 2008 and they presented a HOPE ceremony that moved me. I would like to re-create this at my Relay. I have been hunting for this for several months,with no success. I am now pressed for time,as my event is in 16 days. Any info would be greatly appreciated. It is the ceremony where 4 cancer survivors spoke individually and invited the participants to light their glow sticks. Then we all joined in and sang "This Little Light Of Mine", with words related to CANCER. I did find the words but cannot find the actual song, with those words and the also the script that was read by the survivors. Please help.

Thanks,
Chris, Relay For Life of Greater Fall River

Hi Everyone,

Several years ago the American Cancer Society had a CD of songs that would be a great fit for our Relays.  One of the was called "Lifesong" by Jack Storey and the Track Blue.  I have been able to find the lyrics (or poem) but not the song.  I would love to be able to use it for our Grand Blanc MI Relay in just 28 days!  It is the perfect song for our Survivor Lap.  If anyone has a link to this song, please let me know.  Thanks to each of you for all that you are doing this year in your own Relay For Life!   Julie Menassaka, chairperson

Does anyone have a template for the Awards Certificates to be presented at Relay?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone!

So I know there are ceremony scripts already written, I started to use some of the pieces of the opening ceremony, however, I noticed it's from 2007, which means that some of the information is old, could have been used last year and the data would be old.

I am a cancer survivor, so I plan to share my story, but I want to remind everyone first why they are at relay, what it means, why we relay, etc. And what our money is going to. What are the new findings, etc.

Any suggestions?

My event is April 25 & 26 2009.  I have the Survivor on one end of the track and the caregivers on the othere, not too far apart,.   I have the ceremony starting with the Suvivors walking to the caregivers and exchanging gifts then continueing around the track back to the stands while someone is signing "Theres a hero in you".  After they are seated we have the color gard come in and the invocation and pledge.   Then our guest speaker who is is 12 year old going through brain cancer treatment.  Then the survivors and caregivers leave the stands to "I know where I am going".   I was told by someone yestereday, after I submitted my program, that the 'walkers' will hate setting there while the survivor/caregivers do their lap and set down.  They suggested I change it...

Hi there,

This is my second year as chairperson of our local relay, and I am looking for new ideas for the arch decorations.  We have always used balloons in the past.  The last few years we have had a hard time finding people to do it, and it has been very disappointing.  So, we thought we would try to make an arch without using balloons.  Any ideas would be appreciated. 

We are celebrating our 1oth Anniversary on June 5 & 6 2009!!

We are in need of Relay Pins from the years  2000,01,02,03,04,05,06

and Shirts of the same years

The frist 4 years were small for us here in NH and we don't have anything saved.

Help us celebrate and we'll trade, help or send money!!

Thanks
