Kickoff Party Planned For Relay For Life

Lafayette, LA -- Student and faculty volunteers are gearing up for the 2011 American Cancer Society Relay For Life of the University of Louisiana.

The Relay For Life of UL Kickoff Party will be held on Wednesday, January 26, 6pm, at the Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority House. All students, faculty, and staff are welcome to attend to hear about the new ideas and innovations

planned for this year. It will also be an opportunity for participants to register their teams and sign up to serve as Relay volunteers.

The 2011 Relay For Life of UL will be held in the UL Quad on Saturday, April 9.

The annual Relay For Life of UL draws participants form over 20 teams to walk the track all night to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The funds raised allow the American Cancer Society to continue supporting cancer research, its state and national legislative advocacy, and the Society’s many educational and community service programs.

During Relay For Life, cancer survivors will walk the ceremonial opening lap to show our campus and our community that cancer can be defeated.
