Relay For Life
October 25 th and 26 th of October 2008
A team of 19 fit and energetic Kirinari employees signed up for this fun and fund raising weekend. Relay For Life is a world wide event to raise money for cancer research.
After setting up the tent and having our first coffee fix, the weekend started with on opening ceremony for all the wonderful survivors and carers of this dreaded disease. This was this first year that we have had a team stay over night. It is the best time to walk around the Raiders Oval at 3.00am in the morning, trust me.
The highlight of the weekend was the twilight service where the oval was light up by tee candles which were light by everyone in memory of loved ones who have lost their life to cancer.
Our team was a combination of staff from Home Care, the corporate office and Donna who supports people in the outreach side of the organization.
Our goal was to raise $1000.00. With some great work from the team, we raised nearly $1500.00. The weekend raised $199000.00 over all. There are lots of ideas for next year flowing in already. Lets aim for a few teams next year!!!!!
