It's that time of year again, the 13th annual Relay For Life to benefit the American Cancer Society is coming up starting tomorrow. This year I decided to join the planning committee to help out with the publicity/photography aspect of the Relay, but also ended up becoming involved with Relay On-Line. This is another fundraising tool that allows participants to send out emails to all their friends and family asking for donations. The donors can then visit a website and make a secure donation online using their credit/debit card. I was tapped to take charge of this campaign, and we are doing an excellent job. Last year, we raised a total of $11,000 via Relay On-Line, and so far, we have over $58,000 online. That's quite an improvement.
We are currently on pace to raise our goal of $1,000,000 this year. It should be interesting to see where we end up on Saturday night.
Donations of course are still being accepted. If you would like to help out, visit Relay On-Line to make an online donation.
