Your Chamber Board of Directors has formed a team! . . . AND CHALLENGE OUR MEMBERS TO COMPETE (for fun and a "trophy") WITH YOUR BOARD in the FUN...D raising effort for the fight against cancer. We challenge you to be a Chamber Champ.
Brief summary of the event:
This is a twelve hour event in which team members take turns walking or running around the track. While one or two members of your team are "clicking off the miles," the rest of the team can pitch a tent, roast marshmallows, play games and enjoy the entertainment, until it is your next team members' turn. This relay continues throughout the night . . . walk a little, eat a little, play a little and walk, amble, or jog some more.
Participants are asked to collect donations for cancer research, programs and services. There is a $10 registration fee for each participants. Form a team of 7 to 10 people (+), friends, co-workers and family members, choose your captain and contact Susie Reinholt, the Plymouth Public Library, Chamber Board Member, and our team captain at (219) 936-2324 (the Library), to receive your official Relay For Life entry forms and packet of information.
