Help us celebrate ONE more birthday in ONE week

This candle signifies a special number ONE.  It is an important number for someone that is fighting for their life in the cancer battle.  They hope they can celebrate ONE more birthday.  It is also very fragile as even a small breeze can extinguish the flame.  We will be keeping ONE candle glowing in ONE week because next Saturday we will have our Relay for Life event on the football field at Monte Vista High School.  Please join us if even for ONE lap to keep this candle burning for those battling cancer.  You will be able to see the purple shirts of cancer survivors lining the track celebrating the fact that their candle is still burning bright. Register today for $10 and that money helps keep our 24/7 helpline open, provides free wigs to cancer patients and much more. El Nido Mexican Restaurant will have lunch, Peet's Coffee in Alamo will have coffee during the day and at night, Extreme Pizza in Alamo has donated pizza at midnight for our movie showing of The Sandlot. Come by at dusk and watch our luminaria ceremony where we line the track with bags that are illuminated for cancer survivors and for those whose candle went out too soon. If you are a survivor there is no cost to register and you get a purple survivor shirt and goody bag for free. Join us next Saturday July 27th for a big birthday party!  Www.relayforlife.org/danvilleca
