A Chance to remember a loved one during our Luminaria Ceremony

One important aspect of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life experience is the opportunity for people to come together to remember loved ones lost to cancer and honor those who have won their battle.  One of the most moving parts of the event is the Luminaria Ceremony.

As the sun sets over campsites and darkness falls, the night is brightened by the glow of illuminated bags called luminaria, each bearing the name of someone who has battled cancer.  Some celebrate cancer survivors, while others help us honor and remember those gone too soon.  All represent someone special who has been profoundly affected by cancer and the family and friends who continue to fight back in their honor.

Would you like to honor or remember someone with a luminaria during the Relay for Life Luminaria Ceremony? Visit www.RelayforLife.org/DanvilleCA and learn about how to purchase a bag, register as a cancer survivor or start a team in honor or in memory of a loved one.. For the full experience please come on Saturday July 27th at dusk to the Monte Vista Football field...don't forget your Kleenex.
