Show Us Your Hope Cancer Survivors Reception

Relay For Life Of Peters Township invites the community to join in the annual Show Us Your Hope celebration and cancer survivors’ reception Tuesday, February 21, 6:30 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church, 530 Center Church Road, McMurray.

The public is welcome to join cancer survivors, caregivers, Relay For Life of Peters Township team members and event planning committee members for an evening of inspirational and motivating messages of HOPE from  ``Voices of Hope’’ cancer survivors.

The goal of Show Us Your Hope is to visually depict how Relay For Life brings hope to a community. Refreshments will be served and there is no admission charge. People attending the event are asked to wear purple, the signature color of the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life events, signifying the passion that cancer survivors and their families and loved ones feel for finding a cure for the disease.

2012 Relay For Life of Peters Township will be held on Saturday, June 2 through Sunday, June 3 at the PTHS High School stadium. Opening ceremonies begin at noon on Saturday, followed at 12:30 p.m. with the Survivor’s and Caregiver’s Ceremony.

The Luminaria  Ceremony, which honors survivors and those who lost their battle with the disease, begins at 9 p.m. on June 2.  Luminaria may be purchased with a $10 donation online or by mail with a donation from the heart.
