Men please help us raise money for the American Cancer Society by competing in the Miss Relay Contest.
Contestants will take one lap around the track and collect as much money as possible from the general public.
Bring a purse to collect money from fans and admirers. (Cheating is allowed, so purses may have cash in them at the start!)
The “beautiful lady” who collects the most money wins the title of Miss Relay!!!

Good-Luck!

John Voket is on the Blog - send your ideas!

We are looking for all our participating Newtown teams to sign up for at least one type of entertainment activity or a theme lap. Just email your ideas to me through the Newtown Relay at: relayforlifeofnewtown@gmail.com - and put the word "Entertainment" in the subject line (this is important to assure I get your ideas right away!) I can also help with suggestions - and we're trying to keep everyone mindful of our 2009 theme - All American Picnic.
