Bastrop County Relay For Life 2003 - Page 2 The purpose of the Relay for Life is to celebrate survivorship. It is a team event to fight cancer! This year it was held April 4 and 5 at Bastrop High School's Erhard Field. This is the 6th annual celebration and remembrance. This event is made up entirely of volunteers and benefits the American Cancer Society and the Bastrop unit. There is walking, running, camping out, games, and entertainment-but mostly it is to honor the survivors of cancer and remember those who have lost their fight with cancer. Money raised goes to cancer research. Relay for Life co-chairs for 2003 are Sunshine Reyes and Marilyn Thomas.

During the luminary ceremony, the lights at the football field are turned off
and candles are lit in each luminary. Each luminary is a memorial or honors a
survivor and helps raise funds in the fight against cancer. It takes many groups, individuals, special sponsors and organizations
working together to raise the dollars needed in the fight against cancer!
