2007 National Outreach Project

Did you know that cancer will touch one in three people in your lifetime?

To address this concern, FCCLA is proud to continue its collaboration with the American Cancer Society and its Relay for Life signature event again as this year.  One of the most effective ways you can help in the fight against cancer is to participate in your local Relay For Life.  Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated. The power of Relay is that it allows a community to grieve for those lost to cancer and to celebrate the lives of those who survived.  There is peace of mind knowing that together communities can face the challenges ahead.  For more information check out the FCCLA web site and click on 2007 National Outreach Project.

Form a Relay team today! Help make cancer a thing of the past.

Relay For Life Rally and Dance
Tuesday, July 10, 2007 8pm - 10pm

Put on your walking shoes, grab a friend, and come ready to have fun!  At our first-ever FCCLA and American Cancer Society Relay For Life Rally, we'll get to experience the fun and excitement of a Relay For Life event!  There will be live music and fun activities you won't want to miss.  We'll honor cancer survivors and remember those we've lost to cancer in our special luminary ceremony.  We'll also recognize the state delegation with the "Best State Banner" and the state delegation with the "Best State Spirit".  At 9 pm, we'll turn up the music for 2 hours of dancing and more fun - this is one party you won't want to miss!  Please note there is no charge for this event but donations will be accepted for the local chapter of the American Cancer Society.

At the National Leadership Meeting, each state delegation will be responsible for designing a banner that represents their state.  It should be colorful, creative, and it is suggested that each student sign it.  American Cancer Society will have all the supplies you'll need at the National Leadership Meeting.  Each state will carry their banner to the Relay rally on Tuesday night.  There will be a competition and prizes for the best banner!

The most special part of the Relay Rally will be honoring our cancer survivors.  Students and advisors will line the "track" and cheer as survivors take their victory lap!  If you are a cancer survivor, we invite you to participate in this special opening lap.  We look forward to celebrating your victory with you!
