American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Cedar Park/Leander

Okay for all of you who live in the Austin area we'd LOVE to have you come and cheer Gracie on as she walks in her survivor lap in the Cedar Park/Leander Relay for Life. We plan on making it a party to celebrate all that she's accomplished and will yet accomplish. We're even having cake. So here are the specifics of the Relay. It's rain or shine, so no matter what the weather (hopefully shine!!) we hope to see you there:

Opening ceremonies will be at 7pm with the Survivor Lap to follow and then the team parade (after the survivor lap and team parade is when we're having cake)

The Luminaria Ceremony will be at 10pm

Here is the description of the Luminaria Ceremony if you've never seen one.

"When the sun goes down, hundreds - sometimes thousands - of luminaria light the way under the stars and a moment of silence falls during a moving ceremony of remembrance. Luminaria are glowing bags that appear to be simply paper sacks filled with sand and candles, but every bag represents a life that battled cancer. The luminaria ceremony is one of the most emotional moments at Relay. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer, support those fighting cancer, and rejoice with those who have fought and won."

Luminaria are $5 each. If you'd like to buy one to support or remember someone you love you can call me, or they can be purchased through our Relay link on the right side bar. They also can be purchased at the Relay itself on Friday night.
