WELCOME BACK!!!
We hope everyone has had a great first few weeks of school. This new year marks the 12th season of Relay For Life. We are so excited to make this year the best ever! Last year we hit records for Relay For Life at UVA by recruiting 120 teams, 1255 participants, and raising $143,825.41. We couldn't have done it without all of your help, so thank YOU so much!!
While this last year was seriously great, we think that with the growing size of UVA and increasing presence of Relay, we can make this year EVEN GREATER, but only with your help, of course. Our goals for this year are to have 150 teams, 1500 participants, and raise $150,000! (Yes, we’re very fond of “150”.) If we raise at least $96,273, then Relay For Life at UVA will have raised $1,000,000 for the American Cancer Society!!! That's HUGE! Clearly we have a big year ahead of us, and we could not be more ready to take on the challenge!
To get the ball rolling, we have tons of events coming up! We are hosting a Vermonster Challenge where a team of five races to eat 22 scoops of delicious Ben & Jerry’s ice cream plus toppings piled to the sky! (Or you can eat just for fun, too!) Thus far we have 31 teams registered and have raised over $700, so come out and watch it this Sunday, September 15th in the McCormick Quad.
Concert For a Cure is also right around the corner. It is on September 20th at 8pm in McLeod Hall for only $5! Six a’capella groups will be there including the Hullabahoos (*cue screams of every UVA girl*). It will be a wonderful night that you don’t want to miss!
If you couldn’t tell, we are SO excited for this year’s Relay For Life. You can even start registering and getting your team together here: http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TRpg=entry&fr_id=60216!!
It is never too early to be involved.
Relay Love,
Relay For Life at UVA
