Relay
for Life of Logan County held a pizza party kick-off on Monday,
January 22. The group welcomed Janelle Jennings, Community
Development Manager from the American Cancer Society office in
Springfield as their liaison.
During the meeting the 2018 Theme chosen was “Let’s kick cancer out
of the game” – suggested by John David Dietrich. The day of Relay
was scheduled as an inside event for 1 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, June
16, 2018 at Lincoln College. A goal of $62,000 has been set to be
raised. Already over $4135.34 has been turned in by teams already
registered. Teams are encouraged to choose a game at each Team Table
for participants to enjoy during the event. There will also be a
Live Auction and a Silent Auction among other activities to be
announced later.
Teams are encouraged to register and anyone wanting to be on a team
can call
Debbie Cooley, Carolyn Motley or Lesleigh Bennett or register
on-line. Those collecting $100 by May 16 will receive a Relay
T-Shirt.
Luminaria to honor or in memory of someone can be purchased by
calling Bill Post: 217-732-7564.
