2009 Relay for Life "Touch Down for a Cure"
Unfortunately most of us have been touched by Cancer in one way or another. Union Road is Great at winning football games and Cheer competitions. We are also great at supporting the American Cancer Society in trying to find a cure for this terrible disease.
Our theme is "Touch Down for a Cure".
The walk Friday, April 24th 2009 at Forestview High School was an awesome and touching experience. Thank you to everyone who donated or came out to support us. There were 6 who stayed all night and walked the final lap. Again this year thank you to Scott Sigmon who volunteered to be pied all night long. Congrats to Lindsay Swayney who won the Super Hero contest as a Jaguar Super Cancer Kicker. Congrats to Jaxson who won the Scavenger Hunt. Donations were down this year, but the spirit of all who contributed this year was wonderful.
It's not to late to donate. Donations can be made through May.
If you would like to make a contribution, or just want to know more about Relay for Life, call or email Linda @
704-913-4806 Hummy3@aol.com
You can help to make a difference.
All tax deductible checks made out to The American Cancer Society.
