Someone told me that his local Best Buy donated a gift card to the event. However, when I called my local Best Buy they pushed everything to corporate and I had to apply for a donation/gift (and I didn't recieve one). Does anyone know how to go about this?  I know that Best Buy is one of our National Team Corporate Sponsors so is there anyway I could use that to my advantage? Thanks!

We are holding our Kick off Rally Dec. 5th in downtown Loudonville.  We have decorated our big Tree in the downtown Central Park in all Purple Lights.  It will be lit at 7:00 p.m. with the Zion Lutheran Church Mens quartet singing, and a canlde lighting ceremony.  This will be the start of our Relay For Life Fundraising Campaign for 2009!  We are also having horse-drawn carriage rides, and lumanaries lining the downtown streets.  We are hoping this draws more awareness to our Relay.

The American Cancer Society is looking for people with a strong personal interest in the battle against cancer to help decide which grants should be funded by the organization’s research and training program. These “stakeholders,” who have been part the Society’s grant review process since 1999, have a personal connection to the disease, such as having had a family member with cancer, having acted as a caregiver, or even having had a personal battle with the disease, but are without formal science training.
