Relay for Life Moves Back to the Schreiber High Track on June 15

BY: Lee Anne Timothy, Co-ChairRelay for Life PW, 2013

The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life celebrates 12 years in Port Washington on Saturday, June 15, and this year, moves back to the Schreiber track on Campus Drive.

Says Relay Club Advisor, Mrs. Pat Kosiba, "the move back to Schreiber is very positive  for the PW Relay for Life event. Being centrally located at the Schreiber track will be more convenient to community members." Last year’s event attracted hundreds of community members of all ages who raised more than $80,000 for vital cancer research, support services, and advocacy. Many joined teams, working together to raise awareness. An impressive 400 Relayers participated  on teams at last year's event. Relay 2013 will be another great event!  Join Port Washingtonians, as we come together again to Celebrate, Remember & Fight Back on this special night.

Not to miss at Relay for Life: the Opening Ceremony at 7 p.m., the Survivor/Caregiver Lap and Reception at 8 p.m. and the Luminaria Lighting Ceremony at 9 p.m.  Also look for performances by the Salem School Choir and local rock band, Lil Sammy and the Funked Up Daddies, the PWFD's Barbecue @ 10pm, raffles, terrific prizes, a giant Jenga contest and lots more!

Join your neighbors, bring family and friends...Don't want to stay overnight? No worries, there are many ways to get involved... start a team, join a team, purchase a Luminaria or two, buy a raffle ticket, donate a raffle item, be a volunteer, come soak up the energy, walk a few laps or walk a few miles, just come and become a part of this hope-filled event.
