Goal for Woodstock event is $165,000 and 60 teams
Register your team online today and plan to attend Relay Rally on Feb. 24
In an anticipation of an important event, you sometimes receive a
postcard saying: ‘Save The Date’.
For Woodstock’s Relay For Life, there are four dates to remember leading
up to June 10 at CASS.
The annual largest fundraiser in Oxford County for the Canadian Cancer
Society is happening for the 17th time in Woodstock and it all the
lead-up is kicked off with the Relay Rally.

Read the link to the story in the Woodstock Sentinel-Review and the
earlier entry in the blog site here, as Relay Rally is an open house format
where you can talk to committee members about the event, register your team,
pick a campsite (The campsite map idea is returning for 2016), select a time
for Bank Night, purchase a luminary (or two or three or 10), pick up
information packages to assist in fundraising, sign up as a volunteer on a
sub-committee to help make 2016 Relay successful, and learn more about this
year’s goals. If you are a cancer survivor, you can also commit to the Survivor’s
Lap at Relay at 7 p.m. on June 10.
The Woodstock goals for 2016, by the way, are 60 teams (Teams can be as
few as four and as many as 25), 525 participants, and $165,000.
Much of the event’s timetable has shifted somewhat with the change back
to Friday for Relay For Life in Woodstock. At the same time, many of the same
sponsors are onboard once again, including Boston Pizza and Scott’s No Frills
in making the food tent and dinner time an important ingredient in the evening
as there is always a lot of value in your $15 registration fee.

Do you have expertise in assisting running an event – big or small -- the
