Relay for Life events kick off this week
CHENANGO COUNTY – The Chenango County Relay for Life season will unofficially begin on Thursday as the first of the event-wide activities is set to take place.
On Thursday, the Relay for Life Committee is hoping the community will show its support for the Relay by participating in a “Paint the Town Purple” event. Purple is the national Relay for Life color and is said to be the color of inspiration. For that reason, Committee Members Marie DeSarro and Kim Mack explained, on Thursday the committee is hoping local residents, community members and businesses will take part in the event by wearing purple clothing, hanging purple banners, displaying purple ribbons, decorating windows and store fronts with purple displays and embracing the spirit of Relay for Life.
DeSarro explained that Norwich is the ideal setting for the event, since the school colors are purple and white, and many purple pride products are already available.
“We hope the whole town shows support for the Chenango County Relay which will be held on July 18 and 19,” Mack said.
Following the unofficial kick off event, the Chenango Relay Committee will hold its first event-wide fundraiser. On Saturday, the committee will work with Plaza Lanes for an “Open Bowling Day” fundraiser. Bowling will start at 11 a.m. and continue until the alley closes. The bowling alley has agreed to donate $1 for each game and $1 for each shoe rental that day to the Relay for Life. In addition, they will contribute 15 percent of all snack bar sales to the event.
Some of the teams participating in this year’s relay will also have tables set up, and will be holding additional fund raising events, such as raffles or bake sales. Everyone is invited to attend the fund raiser and help the relay while having fun at the same time.
“This is an event-wide fundraiser. We want to see everybody down there,” said DeSarro. Mack explained that the committee wide fundraisers help to offset the costs of putting on the Relay for Life event. “We try to get most things donated, but there are some costs involved with putting on such a big event,” Mack said.
DeSarro and Mack both expressed the hope that more community members will become involved in the Relay for Life and the events leading up to it.
