I know I found some samples of letters somewhre on the site. We had a committee meeting this week and we have decided to try to get our local governments to declare a relay or power of purple day. I have been unable to remember where I found those. Can someone please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out this Cancer-Bury Tale.See prince pull sword from stone to lead charge.See different colored standards representing each cancer.Must see Braveheart Hall!

How about a National Wear Your Purple day. All who have or have had cancer wear their purple on the same day across America (or across the world). When folks see how many people are wearing purple the magnitude of this horrendous disease may begin to sink in. Think of seeing fellow workers, the newscasters, the talk-show hosts, friends, store clerks, people that you see everyday on your trip to work that you never knew had fought cancer. The impact could be tremendous. What do you think?

I am currently making jewelry for our next Relay and I am wondering if anyone knows what colors stand for what cancers (like we know pink stands for breast cancer).  So far I have pink for breast cancer, teal for ovarian, cervical and uterine cancers, clear or white for lung cancer, light blue for prostate, black for melanoma, purple for pancreatic, orange for leukemia, grey for brain, blue for colon, yellow for childhood cancer and lavendar for all others.  I am really interested in finding a color for thyroid cancer as it is the one who struck my family.  Any info would help!  Thanks!

I have searched around the internet looking for facts to use in my newsletter for the City and I can't find the following:  # of towns participating in Paint Our Town Purple around the world?  Throughout the United States?  AND in California?  Can someone give me some approximates?  I would be so thrilled! 

Thank you,

I had the wonderful opportunity to go the capital building in Austin to lobby with a few congressman. 263 ACS volunteers and staff members went and stated our position on making texas a smoke-free workplace state. If anyone else had this GRAND opportunity, please let me know how your meetings went, because i'm sortof nervous about the men that I spoke with and their positions on this important matter.

RELAY ROCKS!!!!

I just got back from a Relay Reunion this weekend and all weekend long they were showing pictures of A Relay For Life Street Banner (ones that you hang on light poles) and we were interested in seeing if we could get some for our town.  Does anyone have any information about those?? Thanks!
