NEWS RELEASE
KORAH COLLEGIATE
*************************
Korah Collegiate is hosting its Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life on Thursday, June 9, 2016.
It is a celebration of survival, a tribute to the lives of loved ones and a night of fun, friendship and fundraising to beat cancer.
The event will be held on the school track from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and will include many events such as open air concert, and contests between teams.
Korah’s Relay for Life Event involves participation from students and staff at Korah. This year we have approximately 150 participants and 50 volunteers who will be involved in this overnight non-competitive relay.
Teams consist of students, teachers and staff, and cancer survivors. The money raised by participants collecting pledges helps the Canadian Cancer Society.
The event this year will include the Opening Ceremony and Survivors’ Victory Lap.
An inspiring Luminary Ceremony occurs shortly after dusk and honours loved ones who have either survived cancer, are currently battling cancer or who have succumbed to the disease.
To date Korah has raised $30,000 towards the Relay for Life Campaign since its first Relay in 2011.
