Kane Area Relay for Life Kickoff
On Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at 6 p.m. at the St. Callistus Hall, the Kane Area Relay will have their formal Kickoff for the 2009 Kane Area Relay for Life.
The public is invited to attend the festivities to learn more about Relay, the goals and opportunities. Food and beverages will be served up as well as plans for the 2009 event in July.
Who should attend? Marianne Rook, Chair of the Kane Area Relay answers the question, "Everyone….all team leaders and members, people considering forming a team, organizers, people living with cancer, caregivers, family, friends, interested community residents -- anyone who might like to be a part of the event which is a fight for a cure for cancer."
Teams have been forming and fundraising, but Tuesday is the official public KICKOFF. With an American Cancer Society set goal for the Kane Area Relay of $65K, fundraising officially began right after the close of the 2008 event.

"We look forward to seeing everyone Tuesday night," encouraged Rook. "If you resolved to get involved in a worthy cause this year, we HOPE you will consider Relay. If you have been touched by cancer, we HOPE to see you on Tuesday. One thing you should know up front is that we set goals, we work hard, we play hard, we laugh, we cry, we are inspired, we support those engaged in personal fights, we are hopeful. Thoughout the year, we remember, we celebrate and we fight back against cancer with action and hope. We invite you to join us on this incredible journey."
