Relay for Life Forms Due, March 24

Ursuline Academy will again be participating in the Montgomery Area Relay for Life from 4 p.m. on Friday, May 14 until 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 15. This eighteen hour event raises money and awareness for the American Cancer Society. Students form teams of 7 to 10 people who commit to having at least one team member walking the track at Relay for the entire event. It is a fun event that invites us to celebrate cancer survivors, to remember those we’ve lost, and to fight back by supporting the research, advocacy and cancer support services provided by the American Cancer Society.

Many Relay deadlines are fast approaching.

• By March 15, all students who are participating must be registered online at www.relayforlife.org/montgomeryoh.
  
  
• By March 24, all permission forms and adult chaperone forms must be turned in to the community service office. All team captains should have received these forms in homeroom this week. If students have not received these UA forms, they should stop by the community service office.
  
  
• By March 24, all students need to turn in $10 towards their fundraising goal, either through an online donation, or through their team captain to the community service office.

All teams that complete these tasks on time will receive a portion of the money raised from the Father Daughter Dance ribbon sale. Currently, we are forming a UA teacher team for Relay. We would also like to form at least one UA parent team. For that to happen, we are in need of two parents to co-captain a team. Cocaptains recruit team members, encourage fundraising efforts and communicate information about Relay to all team participants. If you would like to co-captain a UA parent team, please contact Ruthie Hurley at 791-5791, ext. 2225, or e-mail her at rhurley@ursulineacademy.org.
