Canned Food Colletion - Relay for Life
On Friday, June 15th at 6:00 P.M. the American Cancer Society will host RELAY FOR LIFE OF GLEN ELLYN, WHEATON AND WINFIELD (presented by Cadence Health) at Glenbard South High School to celebrate cancer survivors, remember those lost to cancer and to fight back.
Relay For Life is mostly fun, but when the sun goes down ACS will pause for a meaningful Luminaria Ceremony to remember loved ones lost to cancer and honor those still battling. Paper bags with names on them will be lit with candles for the Luminaria ceremony. To keep the bags in place, our Troop is collecting cans of food to use as weights. After Relay for Life, the food will be donated to a local food pantry. In a tough economy, not-for-profit organizations are struggling to serve people in need. Rather than competing for donations, the ACS found a way to make your donations go twice as far. Relay for Life is open to the public so join them on June 15th to participate in the Luminaria ceremony and see the impact of your generosity. Click here to go to their website for more info.
BRING YOUR CANNED GOODS TO THE TROOP MEETING MONDAY, MAY 21ST.
