Tracy had her annual kick-off meeting for our Relay for Life fundraiser yesterday. The meeting was well attended with good food, good friends, and lots of great ideas shared for raising money in the fight against cancer. Last year, our Hair Raisers team raised over $11,000 and earned "Rookie Team of the Year" for the Haymarket Park Relay event. So we have set a high bar for ourselves, but I am excited about the potential of our team this year. We have some returning members who did very well last year and some new members with new ideas.
The area of focus for me will be online donations again this year. Last year, I was touched by the generosity that I saw as donations started to come in. I could tell that cancer has cast a wide net as far as affecting the lives of so many people. Friends, co-workers, family, and neighbors alike donated money online and sent in checks to help us in the fight against cancer.
This is a fight that we can win. This is a fight we have to win.
