Rocking the Fight
Relay for Life
RELAY FOR LIFE!
Friends, family and loved ones
coming together to support those
who suffer from cancer.
Reasons for our tent
• Most everyone on
our team had a
special person
suffering from
cancer.
• We wanted to do
our part in helping
the community
• As a team we felt
like we could do
more <there is
power in numbers>
• We decorated it to
be “up beat” and to
give energy for
those who
dedicated their
time that night.
The One Who is Rocking
the Fight
• Mrs. Bassett is 52
years old.
• She found out 2
years ago this fall,
that she had
cervical cancer.
• Mrs. Bassett has
been my “second
mother” since I
was 7 years old.
• She is the one I
walked for at this
event.
Our Stand: Guitar Hero, Snow
cones, and Face painting.
RTF: We were out ALL NIGHT,
HELPING and SERVING those
who came to honor their
friends and family, who have
been victimized by cancer.
Team work and
smiles!
Showing our
excitement while
helping with the
activities in our
tent.
FACE PAINTING:
There to add a
little splash of
color to the
nights activities!
Contagious excitement!
Neighboring
tents caught
on to our way
or “Rocking
the Fight!”
Guitar Hero:
The source of our tent’s
entertainment and the inspiration,
which lead to our tent. We had it set
up so that people could challenge
each other and help us “Rock the
Fight” against cancer.
Lighting of the Luminaries:
Everyone that had a Friend, Family member,
or knew someone with cancer lit one in
their honor. I lit one in honor of Mrs.
Bassett.
COMMUNTIY SERVICE
• I love being out in the community serving others.
• All my life I have been the kind of person that would
go out of my way to lend a helping hand.
• To me it is very satisfying to see the work I do can
and does make a difference.
• I try to participate in as many things as I can in
order to aid my community.
• It gives me a sense of being needed when I see
that my work is helping those who are unable to
help themselves.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
• I feel as though it is right to give back to those who
help me, and bless me with things.
• By taking a part in my community I take more pride
in where I stay.
• By helping, it does not just benefit those I help but
it also helps me.
• Taking a part in something in my community also
teaches me valuable lessons for latter in jobs. Such
as: working with others, finding new ideas, working
through struggles, and learning to adapt to a new
and different environment.
Where is community
service?
• Anyone one can be involved.
• One my find community service
right around the corner from
their house.
• The community around each of
us is always in need of a helping
hand.
