November 29th Kickoff Team Meeting notes

2005 Cancer Survivors start the Relay

It was an enthuasistic kick-off team meeting for this years Jupiter Relay For Life! Diana Tardonia and Alisa Miler (our event co-chairs), introduced the rest of the Relay Committee members and invited others to join. The meeting started off with a quick history of the Relay For Life, a description of the all night event, and how important a role the teams and sponsors play in helping the American Cancer Society in the search for a cure to cancer.

The impact of Cancer is so significant it is hard to find anyone that has not had either themselves, thier family, friends or co-workers that have been impacted by cancer. It was no suprise that everyone in the room had been touched by the fight. As we do in most of our meetings we shared a video of others that are engaged in the fight against cancer.

Theme - This year's Jupiter Relay For Life theme is "A Night at the Movies ~ Staring The Cure"

Goals - Last years sucessful event numbers were shared followed by this years goals. We are off to a huge start and expect to double last years results! This years goals will be posted in a seperate entry and updated after each team meeting. The teams already signed up, the support from the local community with organizations like Papa Johns Pizza and Albertsons that provided pizza and beverages for our Kickoff event, and the event sponsors including: Enterprise National Bank, Jupiter Medical Center, and Keller Williams Realty - Ocean 30 Marketing group.

Relay Bucks - part of the fun of the participating is in the various activities and the Relay Bucks is one of the competitions that goes on between the teams to encourage participation and involvement by the participants of the event. A seperate entry will be posted with details on Relay Bucks...


The next Team meeting is the Official Kickoff on January 24th at the Jupiter Civic Center - 6:30 pm.

We look forward to meeting you and joining with you in the Fight For The Cure!

Great meeting - details to follow

Welcome to the Jupiter Relay for Life Blog

2005 Cancer Survivors start the Relay

Tonight was the first planning committee meeting for the 2006 Jupiter Relay For Life!

Every one was enthused about the potential for the 2006 Jupiter Relay. There were a number of quick items discussed including;
How close we are to achieving pace-setter status for our event.

Introductions of everyone present including the 2 new Chairs for the event and you could feel the energy in the room from everyone as this year’s event was discussed.

2006 Co-Chairs in yellow

Everyone agreed that the Jupiter High School location was an excellent location and we would like to have the event there again this year.

The group discussed and had unanimous support for moving the event to a Saturday start with an early Sunday (sunrise) finish time. The general feeling was that this would help generate more community involvement.

The first Kick-off for last years teams will be set byAlisa & Diana (the 2 Chairs), Patricia (the Team Development Chair), and Karin (our ACS staff partner) and communicated. They will decide between an October or November date.

There was a dialogue about the need to start thinking about a Theme for this year’s event.


I will add a follow-up post with the attendees of the meeting to avoid the spelling errors that would otherwise occur J

We continue to look for other Volunteers that want to participate in the “Fabulous” 2006 Jupiter Relay For Life.
