On Saturday, April 12, starting at noon, Columbia’s Colleges Against Cancer will hold its fifth annual Relay for Life. During the past four years, this event has unified more than 2,500 members of the Columbia community in the remembrance of cancer victims, celebration of survivors and declaration of support for the fight against cancer on all levels.
The event is a 15-hour walk-a-thon, with participants signing up sponsors and collecting pledges. Walkers may sign up individually or as a team. Non-walkers may donate and/or light a Luminaria in honor or memory of someone.
Registration is $10 online before the event and $20 at the event. Those who register before March 12 will receive an event t-shirt. Columbia students, faculty, staff and friends should meet on Low Plaza. Registration opens at 11 a.m., the Opening Ceremony and Survivor/Caregiver Lap starts at noon, the Luminaria Ceremony starts at 10 p.m. and the Closing Ceremony will be at 3 a.m. on Sunday, April 13.
Columbia has raised more than $326,000 for the American Cancer Society in the past four years, and this year’s goal is $105,000. For more information, visit http://events.cancer.org/RFLcolumbiauniversityNY or e-mail columbia.relay@gmail.com.
