Hello Laker Marching Band!

Relay for life needs YOU! During the season we had a representative from Colleges Against Cancer speak at a rehearsal and she stressed how big of an impact this large group can make. Greg Uctum and I have a Marching Band team started and we want this to become a tradition, but we need your help.

We want to support the American Cancer Society and participate in Relay For Life® on campus. Every Relay For Life event is a time for our school to honor cancer survivors, remember those lost to this disease, and raise funds and awareness to help end cancer forever.

By joining our Relay For Life team and helping us fundraise, more people will: - Have the information and tools they need to avoid getting cancer or find the disease early, when it's easiest to treat - Have a place to turn for help 24/7 - Benefit from the progress being made toward finding cancer's causes and cures - Get access to lifesaving screenings and treatment

Many people will be touched by cancer this year. Our Relay For Life event is our opportunity to inspire hope by raising funds and awareness to help those facing the disease. I hope you will join our team and help countless people while simply hanging out with your friends!
