Service Project: Relay for Life


I chose to do my service through
the American Cancer Society

Team Development Committee


Emailed hundreds of clubs Spoke at meetings Tabling/flyering

Luminaria Ceremony

Semester Highlight #1
Marshmallow challenge! There is a marshmallow in every
project

Every project requires each individual to


contribute their personal strengths to build a stronger, more cohesive team

No right way to do something Not to mention, it was fun!

Semester Highlight (or Lowlight) #2


Grandfather diagnosed with Stage II
Bladder Cancer in March

Bladder removal surgery


Intense surgery, preexisting heart
condition

He survived! This only made me more determined to


help with the American Cancer Society

Semester Highlight #3: RELAY FOR LIFE!


Planning all semester for the event Seeing everyone united against a
universal problem

Raised over $25,000 539 registered participants Brother Dean?

Luminaria Ceremony
Most impactful moment of Relay Candle bags lined the mall each honoring
or memorializing a loved one or friend who has been faced with this disease

Relay serves to increase awareness,

recognize and celebrate survivors and caregivers within our community, remember those who lost the cancer battle, and encourage grassroots involving the fight against cancer.

Goals
Continue participating in Relay for
Life and inspire others to do so as well
