Relay for Life proved to be a wet event this year. Our preschool team was prepared for a night of fun and walking for the cause. We arrived to sunny skies and hot weather conditions. Within an hour we were watching the clouds move in. The thunderstorms arrived with a bang, literally. For 2 & 1/2 hours we were under the METAL covered horse arena with thousands of others. It was a hot and dusty situation for sure! We enjoyed each others company and awaited the events start.
They eventually started the relay inside under the arena with the Survivor's Walk, amazing for sure!! Then we walked as a team for a few laps, along with all the other teams... in the little circle of the arena. After some laps of trying to keep walking inside, we decided to call it a night. While we were all prepared to just walk outside in the rain, it was still lightning. The dust and crowds inside made it miserable to continue. Our team had already planned to leave at midnight and at 9:30 we packed up in the rain.
Our teams goal was $2,500 and I am proud to say that we raised $3,500!! Preschool families as well as our own friends and family made a huge contribution! We thank everyone tons for giving to the American Cancer Society!! While it might have rained out our long walk, our contributions will help make a difference!!
