Is anyone interested in supporting the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life..if so..please see the following ways you can team up with/support the Rotary Club of Coquitlam in this worthwhile cause: (Info from Mark Fitzsimmons of the Rotary Club of Coquitlam)
Our club supports the Relay for Life event in two ways:
1. We sponsor a High-Tea for Cancer survivors and their caregivers. We pay for the tea, coffee, juice and water, as well as the food. Our members also serve the tea and food at the event. We have enough support for this so we are in good shape.
2. We enter a team in the relay. We set up a tent in tent city and our members come and hang out, walk a few laps and really just enjoy the day with each other and our families. Some members will raise funds or donate directly to the event.
Your members are welcome to come and join us at our tent, or even set one up if you also have one. Either way, anyone who wants to make a donation to The Canadian Cancer Society - Relay for Life can, either directly or indirectly through sponsors. Anything helps. If they just want to come and hang out, that would be great too.
On the Relay site, we have a team page set up for anyone who wants to join our relay team. It's pretty straightforward so there shouldn't be much work involved....other than showing up and having fun.
