It's a "Carnival" at the 2013 Relay for LIfe

by Timothy Rutt

At the January 18 kickoff of the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, "Carnival" was announced as the theme this year.

According to an email from event chair Heather Morrow, last year's top fundraisers were the Darling Divas.  Other top fundraisers included St. Elizabeth's Spartan Heroes, Curves Altadena, and Altadena Community Church.

The kickoff was held at the Davies Building in Farnsworth Park, which will be the site of this year's relay on June 1. Organizers are still looking for the following committee chairs:  

• Survivor Chair
• Caregiver Chair
• Sponsorship Chair
• Food Chair
• Publicity Chair 

A few housekeeping notes from Morrow, after the jump:

If you are a Team Captain, please register your team.  It is important to register early, so Lucy (our Team Recruitment Chair) can focus on finding new teams.

This year instead of the Team Captain paying for the team registration - each team member has to pay $10 to register.

 

If you are a team member, you do not need to wait until the Team Captain registers.  When you register (typing in last year's team name), it will ask you if you are the team captain.  Just say, no and you'll be on your way.

 

I want to add your team to this list:

 

Holly Jolly Walkers Team Captain: Heather Morrow

Daring Divas Team Captain:  Lucy Molina

ACC Team Captain: Virginia White

Isotonic Walkers Temp Team Captain:  Don Simkovich
