Relay for Life 2012 Kickoffs off June 9 & 10

Several Henderson cancer survivors participating in the "survivor lap" at the 2011 York County Relay for Life event.

The York County Relay for Life will take place at the York County Fairgrounds on June 9 and 10. 

There are many activities planned throughout the evening/night with the detailed schedule. To download and view the schedule, click here. 

The local Henderson Team will have an area available for Henderson folks to gather, relax and visit while taking a break from their walk around the ‘track’.

One slight change from past years is that instead of a complete meal served in a central location, each ‘campsite’ (hosted by the various money-raising teams) will offer one or more food item.  All cancer survivors will be given credit to use toward a meal/snack combination of their choice.  All other participants at the relay will be asked to make a donation toward the food(s) that they would like to eat.  In this way, each fundraising team has the opportunity to add to their total fundraising efforts with the additional donations from the food items.  A major reason for making the change in how the meal is being handled is that there was a large amount of food that was wasted in past years and there were not people interested in making donations to ‘buy back’ the leftovers.

Watch for another article to follow next week revealing all of the great food that will be available at the event!
