You can join us from 6pm until 6am on the night of 26th of July at the Esper A. Petersen Family Foundation Aquatic Center in Grayslake.PURCHASING LUMINARIA For many people who attend Relay For Life®, one of the most moving parts of the event is the Ceremony of Hope. As the light dims over campsites and team members complete laps, the night is brightened by the glow of lighted bags called luminaria, each of which has a special meaning.
Some luminaria celebrate the survivorship of people who have battled cancer and lived to tell the tale. Many commemorate the lives of those who have been lost to this disease. All represent a person who has been profoundly affected by cancer and the family and friends who continue to be touched by that experience. have been touched by this disease. By going on www.relayforlife.org.
You can honor a cancer survivor by placing their name under “In Honor of," or you can remember someone who was lost to cancer by placing the name under “In Memory of.” Each individual’s name will appear on a luminaria and each will be lit at the ceremony to shine as a beacon of hope for others. You also have the option to send an e-card to inform family members and friends of your special gift.
