American Cancer Society - Relay For Life in Braintree

Relay For Life in Braintree...

Click on ''Newsletter'' to find out about our May 28th Dinner Dance.

We are pleased to announce that our town will host its 3rd Annual Relay For Life in Braintree on June 11th and 12th at Braintree High School.

Come join us ''Somewhere Over the Rainbow'' as we ''Follow the Yellow Brick Road to a Cure''.

Relay For Life is an overnight event where teams of 8 ?– 15 people take turns walking or running a track to raise money for cancer research, advocacy, education and patient services.

Teams are made up of family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, clubs and civic organizations.

We welcome you to join the more than 25 teams already committed to this fun and meaningful event.

Once there, you and your team will enjoy entertainment and celebration. Each team will have a site where they can set up camp with tents and lawn chairs, decorated with a team theme. There will be a DJ to keep things lively and fun as well as activities for everyone - young and old.

At Relay For Life in 2003 there was everything from face painting and game competitions to Massages and a Morning Stretch - and again this year, there will be something for everyone.

We welcome you to bring your grill but don't bother lighting it up at midnight. Dinner will be on us at the Midnight Pizza Party followed by lots of games for everyone

Our Entertainment Committee is busy planning some exciting events similar to last year - Relay Bingo and perhaps another 'Beauty Contest'!! Everyone remembers Mizz Relay!

We encourage teams to invite friends and loved ones to stop by for a visit and enjoy our ceremonies beginning at 6pm on Friday with our Celebration of Survivorship and again at 9pm for our Luminaria Ceremony.

A Celebration of Survivorship...

Relay For Life is a celebration of life. It?’s a time to honor our loved ones who have won their battle and those who continue their fight.

Local cancer survivors are encouraged to contact us so that we can personally invite them to a reception in their honor on Friday evening.

If you or someone you know is a cancer survivor, please contact us so that we can send a personal invitation to our Survivor Reception.

A Tribute...

Relay For Life celebrates and honors our courageous cancer survivors and those who are no longer with us.

Cancer shows no preference. It strikes young, old, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives and dear friends.

On Friday, June 11th, we will pay tribute to those we love, and all whose lives have been touched by cancer.

A Luminaria Ceremony is planned at 9pm. Candles will be lit in honor or in memory of those who have suffered from this dreaded disease. These candles will line the track, each bearing the name of a loved one. They will become the light that guides us as we walk through the night.

For more information about Relay For Life in Braintree or to purchase a Luminaria in advance of the event, please contact Event Chair, Kathy Prioli at RelayForLifeBraintree@comcast.net

It?’s about a community that takes up the fight?…

God Bless You and Those You Love Most...
