FAQ

What is the last day to register/pay my $10 fee?
You must register online and pay your $10 fee by April 19th in order to get an official Relay t-shirt. Registration is open until the day of the event, but a t-shirt is not guaranteed after this date. T-shirts will be handed out the week of Relay by Carissa and Rebecca. If your friends and family are planning to walk, they need to register online by April 19th, too.

Do I have to pay my $10 registration fee online?
No, you can also pay by cash or check. Just give the cash or check (made out to the American Cancer Society) to Carissa, who will make sure it is credited to your account.

What if someone wants to give me a donation by cash or check?
Just make sure any checks are made out to the American Cancer Society. Then give the cash or checks to Carissa so she can have it credited to your account.

I know a cancer survivor who wants to participate. How can they be involved?
A cancer survivor is anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer. They can be currently battling cancer or be cancer-free, but we are asking you to invite them to Relay! Relay is a celebration of survivorship, and we will be hosting a catered dinner reception in their honor on the night of Relay at 6:00 pm. Registration at the survivor tent will begin at 5 pm. Matthews Catering will be providing delicious southern fare, in addition to a salad bar provided by Maddio's, a local DeKalb restaurant. Opening ceremonies will begin at 7 pm, at which point they will take a Victory Lap, but at 6 pm, cancer survivors and one caregiver guest will be able to eat and have fellowship together. Special purple survivor t-shirts will be given out. The dinner is free of charge, so please invite survivors to register on the website as a team member or individual. Paper registration forms are available as well from Carissa.

How do I order luminaria?
You can get a hard copy order form from Rebecca or Carissa. Or you can order directly from the team page (http://main.acsevents.org/goto/CancerAvengers_HP) or your personal page. Just click on "Luminaria." The candlelit luminaria ceremony will begin at 10 pm.

Browniepocalypse!

Hi everyone,

Anyone who is interested in baking for our t-shirt/baked goods sale is in luck. We've settled on dates for the sale, so we also have dates for baking:

April 12 (Yeah, this is Easter, so if you can't make it, we have an alternate date)
April 19

I'm thinking we'll start baking at 3'ish? Feel free to come and go as needed.

I will have baked goods to make a large batch of sugar cookies, a few batches of brownies, and some rice crispie treats. If you are interested in baking something else, let me know and we can coordinate.

If you are not baking oriented, feel free to come and wrap goodies, make bows or harass the actual bakers.

For those of you who need directions to my house, just shoot me an e-mail (jessica.hoback@cancer.org); I'm just north of Decatur.
