We are thrilled to announce that Technology Park will be hosting the American Cancer Society’s Chittenden County Relay for Life event on September 26th, 2020 from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
The Relay for Life event will include several fun socially distant friendly activities to keep people energized. Participants are also encouraged to create team-themed shirts through the Tool Wizard in Milton, VT at https://toolwizardandmore.godaddysites.com/
The Event Schedule includes:
Opening Ceremony: Time to get started. We kick off the event by honoring everyone who’s been affected by cancer and everyone who has contributed to the success of this year’s Relay season.
Survivor/Caregiver Walk: Survivors and Caregivers are the heart and soul of Relay For Life events. We honor their strength and courage with every step they take. It doesn’t matter if you were diagnosed 10 days ago or 10 years ago, you can walk while everyone gathers together to cheer you on.
Luminaria Ceremony: During this ceremony, we represent everyone touched by cancer with a Luminaria. Each light represents a life—a life taken by cancer, a survivor of cancer, or a support for a person still fighting the disease. It’s a powerful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve but also offers comfort and hope.
Closing Ceremony: Our closing ceremony is the time to commit to take action and help lead the fight for a world free from cancer. It’s a time to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together and a time to unify for the work that needs to be done moving forward.
