Relay For Life Walking Schedule

Hi Relay Walkers!!!

Thank you to those who have agreed to come early to help set up. The event begins at 1000 but I will be there about 0800 to begin set up. If you plan on helping set up (I can use the help as I will be alone since my son is playing a double header baseball game in Morgan Hill and my Husband has to be there with him). Please meet me in the Leland High School Parking lot at 0800 hours or on the football field. I believe we are towards the back (nearest Bret Harte Middle School side).

For those of you who are walking on Saturday and not walking/staying overnight into Sunday, we can use help breaking camp down on Sunday. If you are able to come out on Sunday morning at 0800, we'd appreciate the help.

Thanks All!

911 Angels Relay For Life

We want EVERYONE to know what our team has done to fight back.

1. The theme for our campsite is simply "911 Angels" that which is us. San Jose Fire and Police Dispatchers, family and friends. We will decorate with team banners, pink, pink, pink, our logo.

2. Our team will advocate a specific form of cancer: Breast Cancer. The need for self exams and the fact that men are at risk of breast cancer as well.

3. Our team slogans: "Be sure to check for lumps, keep your lovely lady humps!!" and "Go hands on, Check your man!" hahahaha! I have the perfect photo for that poster!!!

4. Our team activity: A Water Boobie Relay which we will run. We need Bra Donations, so go through your drawers, bag em and bring em to the relay.

5. During the course of the week, if you have time please decorate or make a few 911 Angels banners or posters using either the above slogan or something similar advocating breast cancer. This is a great kid activity, so get your children involved.

Tis gonna be a FUN FUN weekend!

Happy Trails,

Fundraisers for Avon Walk and Relay For Life

Current Avon Walk Fundraisers

1. Toast For a Cure Wine Benefit is TONIGHT.
2. Control Room and Online Silent Auction closes tonight at 2100 hours.
3. SJPD Team Donation Challenge runs until next Friday.
4. 911 Angel Tshirts will arrive next Friday and will continue to sell until sold out.


Yes, our decision to participate in the Relay For Life was last moments notice but we are prepared to take this head on!
The Relay is 1 week and 1 day away so continue collecting donations both online and offline. We will be able to turn in donations even after the event. Here is our current plan of action for fundraising for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life:

1. Luminaria Sales and Bag Decorating will begin on Friday, June 20th. (see control room display for more details) Donations are $10 for each Luminaria bag. What is Luminaria you ask? A Luminaria is simply a bag with sand in the bottom, and a candle placed in the bag to illuminate it. Each bag represents an individual story of a struggle with cancer. Every Luminaria bears the name of a person afflicted by cancer and the one who honors them. When the sun goes down, the candles are lit and light the way throughout the night. The Luminaria Ceremony is the soul of Relay for Life. At dusk, we quietly remember those whose lives have been touched by cancer. Candles in white bags line the track, each bearing the name of a loved one. In the soft glow of the candlelight, we reflect on the courage and strength of all who are affected by cancer.

2. The rest of our fundraising will be at the Relay itself. We will set up camp and have items for sale: Baked Goods, Tshirts, Pink Ribbon Jewelry, Pink Ribbon Visor Caps, and 911 Angel Cookbooks, Lemonade and Water Bottles.

3. The SJPD Team Donation Challenge gave the officers an option of either donating to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer or the American Cancer Society. The challenge will end on July 27th.

Relay For Life - June 28th

In addition to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, The 911 Angels are reaching new horizons. We have decided to participate in the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life, raising money in the fight against ALL cancers. The Relay weekend is fast approaching. A big heartfelt thank you to you to those of you who have expressed an interest about being a part of our relay team!! Thank you to those who have already registered. Don't forget it costs not a thing to register but once you do, send a message using your personal online webpage to your family and friends letting them know that you will be participating. After-all, the purpose of the relay is to raise money for all cancers. As a registered participant, you will receive a Relay 4 Life Tshirt, so be sure to follow this link and register as one of our official team members.

For the walk, we will be wearing 911 Angel Tshirts. If you bought a tshirt last year (pink or black) you may wear one of those. If you need to order a new one, let me know asap so everyone knows your part of our team while we take over that Leland track!!! :)

There are a few things I need from the team. Please look below at what I need and email me if you can help out with the following:

1. From everyone, I need to know what your time commitment is. Will you be with us the entire day or just part of it and if so, what time or how long will you be able to walk? For the walking schedule, do you prefer (hour walks spread out throughout the day) or (a 2-3 hour time slot) and then be done?

2. We will need about 4 pop up tents for our team area. We will also need ice chests as well. If you or a friend or family member has any pop up tents or ice chests we can borrow, please let me know asap. :)

3. Our team is able to sell things at our booth to raise money for the relay. I will be selling 911 Angel Tshirts and pink ribbon visors, charm bracelets and visor clips and I think I have a few 911 Angel cookbooks too. Are you able to bring and sell a certain craft? cookies? bake sale? or make lemonade ?? open to any other ideas ...

4. Set up and break down crew. I will need at least 5 people to help set up on Saturday morning at 7am and at least 5 people that will be there for closing ceremonies and that can help break down camp on Sunday at 8am?

5. Alex and I are in the process of getting Safeway gift cards donated to us so that we can have food / snacks / water at our booth for our walkers throughout the relay. We will shop for all food on Friday June 27th. (sandwich fixings, chips, water, gatorade) etc ...

6. Lastly, There are 2 area's the ACS would like us to focus on at the relay.

#1 Promoting ACS programs and activities: Patient services,
Information services, Advocacy, research and Engaging Volunteers.

#2. Increase the community awareness of cancer prevention: Colon Cancer
Screening, Nutrition, Physical Activity, Breast Cancer Screening,
Tobacco Prevention, Skin Cancer Prevention.

We would like each team to choose a "Fight Back" slogan that
is related to one of the above areas and create a banner to be placed
on the fence around the track or in the "Fight Back" tent.
Feel free to be creative!! The banner can be painted on butcher paper,
fabric or whatever you would like - it is a great childrens
activity!! You can use the ACS slogans or come up with your own.
These should be ready to hang early Saturday AM (8-9 am).

Each team should also think of an activity related to your slogan that
can be done sometime during the relay. This activity can be done
during your laps (ie. passing out sunscreen while explaining the
importance of sun protection). You could also choose to play a game
(pop the polyp) near your camping area or on the open areas of the
field. After we find out who is doing what, we will make out a
schedule and your activity will be announced from the stage.

If you can think of a slogan and activity for our team, please email me your idea so that we can submit it at the meeting on Thursday night.

Thats it for now ...


Thank you 911 Angels ... YOU ROCK !!
Tara and Alex Doxie
