Thank you to the Event Leadership Team who began planning this Relay back in January and did a phenomenal job. A very special thank you to our Event Chair, Sharon VanDenbos who works tirelessly to tend to every detail involved with Relay and truly is a big part of the heart and soul of this event.

Appreciation to everyone who helped with our Silent Auction (which brought in $1729), those who helped us honor our Survivors, those that worked on securing Sponsorships, the activities and each of you for all your fundraising!!

We also had 30 people turn in the little "PRIZE" card that was distributed at the parade, churches and other locations in the community. What a joy to be able to share the Relay experience with 30 new people!
