Friday Foto For Frederick Relay

It’s our 13th annual American Cancer Society Relay for Life in Frederick County.   It still surprises me that every year we still have people that say they never heard of it.  I guess it one of the reasons we continue to grow bigger and bigger every year.  Last year we had a total of 790 people signed up by the end of the event.  This year have 800 already.  The night of the event usually has a nice amount of new participant signing up.   I am hoping we top 1000 Relayers.  Not only do we need to have Relayers but we need donations to help find a cure.  Our goal is $200,000 this year.  With the economy the way it has been, we were worried that this was going to be a stretch goal.  I am please to see that we are very near to $150,000.  Tonight will close that gap.

We start at 7 PM at the Frederick Fair Grounds.  Please stop by and see what Relay is all about.  We truly Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back.

The collage below was from a new event this year called Operation: Paint it Purple.  In order to help raise awareness for Relay and Cancer Awareness, ACS has chosen a few days out of the year to “Show us your HOPE.”  We decided to get the city of Frederick involved and asked the Mayor for permission as well as a Proclimation to make that day “A day of HOPE”  Volunteers tied purple ribbons and  balloons all along North Market Street and Carroll Creek.  On top of that we had managed to cast a purple light on a majority of monuments around town.  Why purple?  You will have to visit Operation: Paint it Purple to find out.

There is still time to donate if you are unable to make it out to the Fair Grounds tonight just visit my Team website for a secure donation.  Thank you.
