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.
