This Saturday night was the Relay for life at the Bluff. As you know, I organized a team for my school, the North Glenmore Gators.
The Relay is for the Canadian Cancer Society. We started at 6pm last night and went through the night until 6 am this morning. We walked in twos and alternated every half an hour, so we only had to alk every hour and a half. It was pretty good but at about 2:00 in the morning you start getting very tired. I swear Dale was dillusional.
The was a lot of fun things to keep us entertained. There were many live bands, face painting, Relay Idol (no I did not try out!), we played Bocce, board games, had a BBQ potluck, hot air ballon rides, Starbucks was there with free coffee, there were tons of other things going on.
One of the most touching parts of the night was the slide show and the Luminary event. If you so wished you could purchase a candle in a small white paper bag in memory of someone who has/had cancer. They showed a slide show with pictures submitted and the candles were lit around the outside of the track. It really hit home why we were raising money and awareness for this incredible disease.
It was a very successfull event and our team managed to raise about $17oo dollars!
We did a coin drive at our school and all the members (staff and spouses) collected pledges. Kelowna raised a total of $120,000 all togther! YAY!
Keep your eyes and ears posted for recruiting for next year!
