Relay for Life!

After a few years off, First Christian Church is once again participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life on August 4 at St. Patrick / St. Vincent High School.  Our team is known as Christians for a Cure and we have a goal of raising $1,000.  Our committee is currently working on ideas for our fundraiser at the Relay itself, but we do have a pre-Relay fundraiser already scheduled — a HUGE Yard Sale with other goodies (baked goods, hot dogs, etc.) which will take place on Saturday, June 23rd.

You can learn more about the even by visiting http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?pg=entry&fr_id=85536.  We will have a booth on the track during the 24 hours of the Relay with educational opportunities as well as a fundraiser.  It is a great event every year with lots of interesting booths with all sorts of ways you can donate to the cause, through purchases, raffles, games, and other special activities.  You can visit the website to donate through our team, or to join the team to help the fundraising effort.  Just search the teams for Christians for a Cure and click JOIN or DONATE (or both!). 

More information will follow as more planning happens.
