Dear Members of the Council:
Councilor Reginia Bailey-Mayor
This year marks the 25th year of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life. What started as
one man's passion in Tacoma, Washington, has grown to a one-of-a-kind event in 5,000
communities and 20 countries. Communities around the globe unite to celebrate those who have
battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back to end a disease that has taken too
much.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Johnson County unites the communities of
Johnson County in the fight against cancer. This year, we are asking for your assistance by
proclaiming Relay For Life week or day for Iowa City.
This year's event will be held Friday, 3une 19 beginning at 7:00 p.m. -Saturday, June 20 at 7:00
a.m. at Cleaz Creek Amara High School in Tiffin. The schedule of events includes opening
ceremonies, honoring of cancer survivors, the Iuminaria ceremony, music entertainment, food, a
basket raffle, and children's games.
Should you be agreeable to making a proclamation for the county, please contact Barbra Kamer,
publicity chairperson at survivorl968;a~yahoo.com or via phone at 319-530-0735, and she will
be able to provide you with a sample proclamation and answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for your consideration as we work together to save lives,
Sincerely,
^^~~ _ ~ ~ ~~
