Notes from last night's Relay kick-off
Here's a brief recap of the highlights and news from tonight's Relay Kickoff! It was well attended and very spirited!
This year's theme, as voted on by those in attendance, will be "Kiss Cancer Goodbye"
In 2013, the Relay For Life of the Greater Southbridge Areahad a net profit of $195,753 with the help of 964 participants from 58 teams. As part of that, we helped honor 207 survivors and ranked 17th out of the 257 Relays in New England in 2013. Over this Relay's 16 years, Southbridge has raised more than $3.2 million!
In 2014, we hope to have 60 teams, 210 survivors, reach 1,000 participants and raise a lofty $217,000 in our 17th year.
The annual Relay Fun Day will be held on Sunday, May 4 from 10:00am to 3:00pm at the Town Common. Those interested should touch base with Ron Ravenelle.
