LUMINARIA - TO REMEMBER OR HONOR A LOVED ONE

On Saturday, April 24, 2010, a Survivorship Ceremony will kick off the Fourth Annual Relay For Life at John Carroll University. Relay For Life is the nationwide, signature event of the American Cancer Society. It is an overnight community event in the fight against cancer. As part of the ceremonies, American Cancer Society volunteers and survivors line the track with luminaries (lighted candles in weighted, white bags inscribed with an individual's name). At sunset, everyone is invited to participate in the incredibly moving Luminaria Ceremony. At this time candles are lit as all in attendance observe a heart-felt moment of silence.

Each luminary is lit in honor of someone who survived cancer, in memory of someone who has lost his or her battle to cancer, or any loved one being honored or remembered as the search for a cure goes on. The luminaries may be reserved with a $10.00 donation. All money raised is used for research, education, advocacy, and service programs sponsored by the American Cancer Society.

We need everyone to be a part of the fight against cancer in our community. Please fill out the form below and reserve a luminary for a loved one. Luminaries can be pre-purchased at any time, or during the Relay itself.

It's never too early to make this contribution. Every individual can make a difference and help save lives. Thank you!
