Luminaria for Relay for Life

SHINE A LIGHT ON THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER

Relay For Life participants and donors: remember loved ones lost to cancer and honor those battling the disease by dedicating luminaria bags, one for $5 or 3 for $10.

Each luminaria can be personalized with a name, photo, message, or drawing in memory or honor of a friend or loved one who has been affected by cancer.  Luminaria can also be dedicated in support of a Relay participant.   Each luminaria represents a person. They are our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, friends, coworkers, and so many others.

Luminaria bags are transformed and illuminated after dark at every local Relay For Life event.  During the Relay For Life Luminaria Ceremony, glow sticks are lit inside of personalized bags to shine a light on the fight against cancer.  The power of this ceremony lies in providing an opportunity for people to share their grief and find hope.

Please contact Ernestine Gardner if you would like to purchase and dedicate Luminaria for this year’s Relay for Life event.
