UWA Guild (and the Cancer Council of WA) are holding a Relay for Life @ UWA on the weekend of Saturday 16th October – Sunday 17th October 2010 (12noon til 12noon).
Cancer Council’s Relay For Life is more than just a fundraiser. It is an opportunity to get together with your community and celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.
Relay For Life is a unique event where teams of 10 to 15 friends, families or colleagues challenge themselves to take turns to keep a baton moving in a relay style walk or run overnight. There are no age limitations or fitness requirements – Relay For Life is suitable for everyone and anyone can join in the fun! Stay for the whole event, camp overnight, or just visit and enjoy the free entertainment, prizes and ceremonies that make Relay For Life so inspirational.
Each person on the team pays a registration fee which includes a polo shirt and breakfast at the event. Relay is a fundraising event where team members are encouraged to raise a minimum of $100 each.
Whether you are a cancer survivor, a carer, supporting friends or loved ones, or simply wanting to make a difference, Relay For Life empowers everyone who participates.
This is an Australian first with a Uni-run Relay, so get involved!
We need:
- people to help organise the event, 24 hours of fun!
- people to help during the 24 hours of fun!
- teams to join in the fun!
For more info see the Relay for Life website and contact Jenni Brown at the UWA Guild.
