2018 Relay for life

2018 RELAY FOR LIFE MAGAZINE LINCOLN DAILY NEWS JUNE 27, 2018 Page 9 After their stories were shared, Fellers and Weidhuner led the survivor’s walk, which included many other survivors from the area. Following the Survivors, Caregivers then walked laps. In keeping with the theme “Let’s Kick Cancer Out of the Game,” several teams offered games at their tents such as Connect Four, Twister, or Tossing Balls into Pumpkin containers. Other games teams could join in throughout the day and evening included Scrabble and Trivia. The Super Papa’s Team decorated its tent to look like the game Candyland. The Academic Development Institute Team decorated their tent like a game of Pacman. The Jigglers’ Team had a decorative maypole with ribbons around it. Kathleen Brumbaugh said the pink pole represents their breast cancer support group, the black ribbon represents melanoma and skin cancers, the peach ribbon represents uterine cancer, and the teal ribbon represented ovarian cancer. As in year’s past, several vendors were there to sell their wares and share some of the proceeds with the Relay. A silent auction with many items up for bid brought in even more funds. Entertainment included music by Emily Hope Music, Line Dancing taught by Suzanne and Erin Gowin, and performances by various teams and individuals from Audra’s Studio of Dance. As Co-Chair Nicole Tripplett Lee said, the Relay for Life is a time for “family, friends, and coworkers to gather to finish the fight against cancer.”
