Public Service Announcement: Relay For Life

Editor’s Note: We received the following message from Margarita Mercure Hibbs, chairperson for this year’s Relay for Life last week, and encourage everyone to either participate or sponsor a team. This annual American Cancer Society event raises funds for cancer research.  The attachments to the message include the Relay for Life flyer, letter to supporters, and sponsorship agreement.

Hello Family and Friends,

Attached is a letter of information regarding this wonderful event.  Some of you may know that I have been organizing this event in the Estancia Valley for the last two years.  This August 1st and 2nd is my third and last year to Chair the event and it would be wonderful if you all could come out and support this special charity.  As you know, my sister Paula, my mother Margie, my cousin Chris, my Aunt Marie and my father in law all experienced the ravages of cancer.  This annual effort is my attempt to fight back against this terrible disease.

Please consider participating in this incredible event.  It is a 24 hour event spent celebrating life for our cancer survivors, remembering our loved ones who did not make it and fighting back in solidarity by raising money to find more cures and provide more services to cancer patients.  The philosophy is very simple; Cancer does not sleep, so for one full night, we will not sleep.  It would really be special to have you participate and support my last year. »» Public Service Announcement: Relay For Life
