Relay for Life of Springfield/Burke Kickoff!

Amy Falcon, Neighbor

Come join us for the KICK-OFF CELEBRATION of the Second Annual Relay for Life Event at West Springfield High School. From 9:30-11:30, we will have coffee and fresh baked goods from one of our sponsors - GREAT HARVEST BREAD COMPANY!

Last year we had almost 900 participants, 60 survivors, and more than tripled our fundraising goal!  As a result , the Springfield-Burke Relay was named "Best Rookie Relay" in the South Atlantic Division.

The Kick-Off Celebration is an opportunity to drop in and find out more about why and how 3.5 million people nationwide have participated in Relay in their own communities.  Meet your 2011 Committee, fellow participants and register your team. Committee members will be on hand to explain Relay, help you register, demonstrate the website, register Survivors, and sell Luminaria.

Additionally, we'll have live music provided by West Springfield High students!

Visit our website at www.springfieldburkerelay.org and come join us at KICK-OFF!!  Or find the event on facebook by searching "Kickoff!".
