As you can imagine, the committee was New Seasons fit to be tied! Then one of the members suggested lining the track with lumi- Nike nary bags to enable the participants to see the track as they walked or ran. The Olive Garden, Survivor Luncheon committee immediately ran out and got what they needed to implement the OnPoint Community Credit Union “luminary light” idea. When they lit the candles in the bags that night it Oregon Rain Soaps PDX Wraps changed the atmosphere on the track. The soft lighting was conducive to talk- Pacific Oncology “A Division of OHSU” ing about why everyone was there—to fight cancer and honor those who had Pampered Chef, Brenda Jones won the battle. The next year Tacoma (who had heard about the beautiful ex- Paradise Bakery, Tara Olfert perience the candles had produced) and a couple of the other Relays included a Parr Lumber luminaria ceremony honoring cancer survivors and remembering those who had Party Lite Paul Rich Studio lost the battle.
