Is there anything better than a challenge to see who can be the best? Who will win?
The Woodstock Relay For Life was seventh best in raising funds for the Canadian Cancer Society in Ontario in 2013. That is not based on demographics or a sliding scale based on population, but actually seventh best in the province!
This year, partially due to the province-wide theme of 'Rebuild' for Relay -- growing the number of teams in all communities -- the St Thomas Relay For Life committee has issued a challenge to Woodstock to see which event can attract the most teams registered by March 14 and the most overall participants on board.
CCS fundraising coordinator for Oxford, Tracy Bucholtz, says it's a fun challenge between two communities.
"We decided to kick off the 2014 Relay season with a friendly registration challenge with our neighbours to the west because our cities have many similarities in regards to size and demographics," explains Bucholtz. "Over the past few years, the Relay For Life events in Woodstock and St. Thomas have been comparatively close in the contributions they are making to further the Canadian Cancer Society's mission. By challenging each other, we will hope to increase the impact our communities are making in the fight against cancer."
You can register online at www.relayforlife.ca/woodstock, by visiting the CCS community office in Woodstock at 65 Springbank Ave North, or by contacting steering committee members for more info. Lots of contact names and numbers appear throughout our blogs.
