RELAY FOR LIFE, RUBY & RAFFLE



Ruby Riggs has made a great pieced denim tied quilt (flannel on back) to raise money, with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. Her expertise is beyond compare and every stitch is made with love and perfection. The Denim Quilt is sure to become an heirloom in one lucky family.  It is our third year at Relay for Life and this year we have decided to add an opportunity drawing/raffle to our fund raisers. Ruby lost her husband, Bill, to cancer two years ago and that is when our Relay Team, Fish Fight, began. You can buy chances for $1.00/each. We will also have the denim blanket on display at the Relay for Life Event and sell chances there. We will draw for the items on July 14 at the Relay for Life Event.

It's Time for Relay Again!

This is Team Fish Fight's 3rd year to Relay. In the beginning the team was started in memory of William Riggs who lost his battle with cancer in April 2010. The second year we decided that we would relay in memory of all loved ones who have lost OR survived their battle with cancer. This year we are continuing to honor all who have battled cancer.

Team Fish Fight requests your assistance by participating, spreading the word or by making a donation. As a team we are trying to raise $2000 in memory of those loved ones and friends our team and others have lost to cancer. Our sponsors/donators will be listed on the back of our team shirts. To have your logo on our shirt we require a $50 donation (check or item).  All names will be listed on our shirt regardless of the donation amount. We are hosting the 2nd annual 5k run (date, time and place to be determined) AND we will have our 3rd annual silent auction June 6 - 10.

We are making a difference by teaming up to participate in the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life.

At the event, our team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

Saving lives from cancer starts one team, one participant, and one dollar at a time. Our team is doing our part to make sure that cancer never steals another year of anyone's life. 

Please join our team or make a donation. The impact we can make together is much greater than what any of us could do alone!
