Hello everyone!
We're looking for participants to form a College of Computing- Student Organizations team in the annual Relay For Life event! The event will be the night of Friday, April 11, 2008 at the CRC field.
Relay For Life®, the
American Cancer Society's signature event, is a fun-filled overnight
experience designed to bring together those who have been touched by
cancer. At Relay, people from within the community gather to celebrate
survivors, remember those lost to cancer, and to fight back against
this disease. Relay participants help raise money and awareness to
support the American Cancer Society in its lifesaving mission to
eliminate cancer as a major health issue. During Relay For Life ®
events, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and
take turns walking or running laps. The events are held overnight to
represent the fact that cancer never sleeps. Through the survivors' lap
and the luminaria ceremony, we honor the people who have faced cancer
first hand, and we remember those who have been lost to this disease.
If you would like to help out, please let me know by e-mailing me by TOMORROW evening (Thursday, March 6, 2008). This is really an awesome event for a great cause. For more information, please visit http://www.relay.gatech.edu/ or http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeSouthAtlanticDivision?fr_id=8077&pg=entry.
