  For Your Information presents Saints and Sinners as Portrayed in Medieval French Literature with Professor Debbie Nelson-Campbell. Saints have played a major role in the French Catholic church for manycenturies.  During a recent trip to France, Debbie was struck by the fact that every village had a saint she had never heard of.  Many are not officially recognized by the Church but continue to be revered by the faithful.  As a medievalist Debbie is particularly interested in how saints and sinners are portrayed in literature.

  Opening Ceremony

  Time to get started. We kick off the event by honoring everyone who's been affected by cancer and everyone who has contributed to the success of this year's Relay season.

  Survivor/Caregiver Walk

  Survivors and Caregivers are the heart and soul of Relay For Life events. We honor their strength and courage with every step they take. It doesn't matter if you were diagnosed 10 days ago or 10 years ago, you can walk while everyone gathers together to cheer you on.

  Luminaria Ceremony

  During this ceremony we represent everyone touched by cancer with a Luminaria. Each light represents a life—a life taken by cancer, a survivor of cancer, or a support for a person still fighting the disease. It's a powerful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve but also offers comfort and hope.

   

  Closing Ceremony

  Our closing ceremony is the time to commit to take action and help lead the fight for a world free from cancer. It's a time to celebrate what we've accomplished together and a time to unify for the work that needs to be done moving forward.
