23 teams participate in this year’s Relay For Life
At this year’s Relay For Life, 23 teams
gathered in the parking lot area of
Lincoln College’s Lincoln Center
to spend 12 hours taking turns walking laps
around a track defined by more than 1,000
luminarias.
The evening began with the survivors lap,
then moved on to the caregivers lap and the
kids lap.
The next organized lap of the evening was
the team lap. Master of ceremonies Steve
Sauer introduced each team and read a brief
statement provided by the team.
As they were introduced, team members
clapped and cheered, then made their way to
the starting line and did a lap as a united group.
Walking for Robin was the first team
introduced. This group walks in honor of Robin
Ingram, a cancer survivor and an honorary co-
chair this year.
