Pack The Bar/ Relay for Life

We did a great job "packing the bar" which had an excellenet turn out. With food and drinks what more could Emerge members need? We saw a lot of new members turn out and sign up and some old members who had not made previous events. I know we even had 2 new members who moved here recently from Buffalo, New York and a group of new members from Florida Southern's Athletic Department.

Eunice, an Emerge member who works for the The American Cancer Society discussed the upcoming Relay for Life fundraiser to be held on March 25. Relay For Life is the national signature activity of the American Cancer Society. There are numerous ways to get involved with Relay. Putting a team together and serving as its captain; joining a team; walking the opening lap if you are a cancer survivor; working on the organizational committee; being a corporate sponsor; being a volunteer for a few hours during the event ... there is some way for everyone to take up the fight through Relay For Life.

To learn more contact Jennifer at the American Cancern Society at 688-2326 or email Jennifer.Quick@cancer.org. Many of our Emerge members have participated in the Relay previously. If you're interested in becoming part of an Emerge team post a Blog here or send an email to volunteer@emergelakeland.com.
