Relay For Life of Logan Co. approaches $1M goal
Send a link to a friend
[May 24, 2013]
This is the 16th year of Relay
For Life in Logan County, and 2013 will be a million-dollar
milestone for the county as well. This year's participants will
honor heroes past, present and future while on the Lincoln College
campus track from 6 p.m. June 14 until 6 a.m. June 15. Cancer has
created many heroes that participants will be remembering -- past
survivors, present survivors and, until we find that cure, future
survivors. Caregivers and those who give funds are also heroes.

 By supporting Relay For Life of Logan County, volunteers are helping
to save more lives faster -- another group of heroes. All Logan
County residents are invited to join this year's Relay For Life in
fighting for every birthday threatened by cancer.It is not too
late to join a team or start your own team: call Carolyn Motley,
732-8032. Co-chairs Amy Weidhuner, Tabatha Weidhuner and Nicole Lee
invite anyone to join one of the 28 teams and help bring a cure to
reality.
Currently the teams are Faith, Hope & Love, Walking Wonders,
Jigglers, Walking for Robin, Railers Fighting Back, Purpose Driven
People, St. Peter Lutheran, Brooklyn's Big Top, Northwest Wildcat
Walkers, Lincoln Jaycees, Dellow Sisters, Dana's Team, St. John UCC

Luminaria will again line the track at Lincoln College in honor
of or in memory of the heroes being remembered. Team members have
luminaria order forms, and Bill Post, 732-7564, will have the forms
available before and during the event.
Invitations to the Survivor Dinner and details of the Relay For
Life will be mailed to all survivors in early June.
New survivors are encouraged to register with Tonita Reifsteck,
732-9796 or 217-855-1645, so a survivor shirt and pin can be secured
for them. Any survivor whose information or address has changed in
the past year should also contact her.
