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...
