Do you live in Cleveland Area? Come Rock 4 Relay in Beachwood!

Beachwood Relay for Life Event and Rock for Relay Concert 2009 to benefit American Cancer Society.

On May 9th-10th, from 6pm to 12 noon, hundreds of people will join together to help fight cancer at The 2009 Beachwood High School Relay for Life Event. Teams of people lug their camping gear to Beachwood High School and take turns walking or running around the track. Relays are an overnight event, because cancer never sleeps. Some of those same sleep-deprived people will leave with alot less hair than they started with!

Philosophy – Why We Relay

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.

So in the spirit of supporting those who have battled cancer, and fighting back against this terrible disease, the 2009 Beachwood Relay for Life event will also be hosting a "Locks of Love" drive. Lavish Color Salon owner Tracy Watts-Cirino has graciously offered to provide a free haircut to any person willing to cut off their own hair to help others.(Minimum of 10 inches of unbleached hair). A booth will be open at the 2009 Beachwood Ohio Relay between 6pm and 9pm for this purpose. Anyone who wants to donate hair that meets the guidelines is welcome. Please let the people at the registration tables know you are there to donate hair.

During the time of hair donation Local Cleveland Bands--Rock/Blues Savage Highway, and Pop/Punk bands The Climate, Exit Cleveland will play. A $10 donation is requested from those just coming to see the bands. A nutrition booth to teach cancer nutrition will be manned by Kristina Austin and sponsored by The Gathering Place. A Luminaria ceremony will take place with music sung by Patricia Choi and the "I light a Candle" poem. During the Luminaria ceremony inividual bags are "lit" all around the track. These bags have the names of loved ones who have passed from cancer, names of cancer survivors, and names of cancer caregivers written on them. Each and Every name on the Luminary Bags will be read outloud after the poem. It is a time of reflection, of remembrance, and of HOPE for the future. After the luminary ceremony there will be On Stage Rock Band Competition, then Movies, a Midnight Pizza Party, Games, Theme Laps, Morning Yoga, an inspirational message of HOPE by Rabbi Eddie Sukol, Donuts and Coffee, Local Performers, Awards Ceremony with Prizes, and the FIGHT BACK CEREMONY!

No matter who you are, there’s a place for you at the Beachwood Relay. As a survivor we have a free t-shirt for you, the honor of walking the first lap of the relay, and a survivor dinner. (I have reservation paperwork, so if you are a survivor of cancer and would like to come, contact me so I can get you registered to attend, free of course!). As a participant you can walk, run, donate hair, come out to see the bands, form a team, or dedicate a luminaria.
