Previously:  The Stutsman County Relay for Life Co-Event Chairs, Chelsey Francis and Amanda Thrift on the Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, said this year goal is to raise $100,000. So far, fundraisers throughout the year have brought in $67,000, so at least $33,000 is needed to reach this year’s goal.

Last year’s goal of $90,000 was reached, so this year another roughly $27,000 would match last year’s total.

A silent auction runs from 2-p.m., to 8-p.m.

RelayforLife-WBS-FrancisTriftThey pointed out that on Friday, Jun 10th, volunteers are needed starting at 8-a.m., at UJ’s Taylor Stadium to help with set up of tents, and tables, along with placing luminaries around the track.

Help is also needed in assisting with parking in the stadium lot, and to keep the track and stadium picked up during and after the Relay.

Luminaries are available for purchase through Thursday, at a suggested donation of $10, at Wells Fargo Bank in Downtown Jamestown or from Judy Hager.

 

Jamestown (CSi) The Stutsman County Relay for Life is Friday June 10 at the University of Jamestown Taylor Stadium .

The Opening Ceremony brings everyone together for a high-energy event kickoff that celebrates the lives of those who have battled cancer and reminds us all that while we are winning this battle, fighting cancer is a year-round priority.

Cancer survivors take the first lap around the track. Cheered on by the other participants and the sound of upbeat music, the Survivors Lap lets all cancer survivors at the event celebrate their victory over cancer.

During the Caregivers Lap, anyone who ever cared for someone with cancer walks a special lap so they can be honored. Caregivers can walk this lap with the person they helped if they are also present.

At the candlelight Luminaria Ceremony we remember loved ones lost to cancer, support people who currently have cancer, and honor people who fought cancer in the past. It’s a powerful part of the event because it provides an opportunity for people to work through grief and find hope.

The Closing Ceremony celebrates what we all just accomplished together. It’s also a time to remember the lives of those lost, and to commit to continuing the fight against this disease over the next year.
