Relay for Life has come and gone. Cindy and I drove to Rexburg for the grand event held on June 25th. Team Sister's For Sirri had a WONDERFUL time. We raised $828.25 for the American Cancer Society. The event however, raised $45,902.35.
We sold homemade rainbow kettle corn, caramel corn, and purple berry popcorn for our on-site fundraiser. Sirri and her friends sold it like we were at a baseball game. It was a big hit, but we're already dreaming up some "real" food to sell next year. You can only eat so many treats and hot dogs in one night, even when you are walking all night long.
The theme for the event was Relay Like a Rockstar. Lisa and kiddos all looked fabulous, green hair and all. Cindy and I made costumes the night before, however only parts of our costumes ended up on, as we arrived shortly before the festivities began. Bummer, but now I have something for the kid's dress-up box.

The luminaria ceremony was amazing and the track was lined with luminaries in honor/support of those who have and are battling cancer. Lisa-Marie did a great job decorating the luminaries that were purchased for our team.
Sirri and her friends stayed up until 4:30 in the morning and consequently missed her baseball games the next morning as she chose sleep instead.
Cindy and I made a quick trip of it, arriving Friday evening and heading back Saturday morning after catching a few hours of sleep, but we will do it again!!!

Thank you so much for coming! It means the world to me.
I am so so very happy that you live close enough now that you can do day trips!
