Join in the Fight Against Cancer this Spring!
The Relay For Life of Studio City‐North Hollywood will be held on May 19‐20, 2012 at Walter Reed Junior High School. Teams of 5-20 people create a relay by taking turns walking, running, or strolling around the school track for 24 consecutive hours. Participants will camp out with family and friends, enjoying music, entertainment, food, and friendship while building team spirit to help in the fight against cancer. The event’s 24 hours symbolize the difficulties cancer patients can face in just one 24‐hour period. We honor cancer survivors at opening ceremonies at 9:00 AM as they walk the traditional first lap. At 9:00 PM the lights go out for our Luminaria (candle lighting) ceremony where we honor those who have won the battle and remember those who didn’t. The event culminates with a powerful Fight Back Closing Ceremony as we continue in the fight even after Relay is over. This 24‐hour celebration unifies the Studio City‐North Hollywood communities for a cause that touches everyone. Relay for life will make you laugh and cry, and will definitely be an experience of a lifetime.
Relay for life is a completely volunteer and community driven event. We need the support of volunteers, local businesses, and community organizations within the Studio City & North Hollywood communities in order to make the event a success!
