Cass County Relay for Life was a Success!
.
.
.
.
Cass County Relay for Life has raised $64,007.00 as of date! There were 30 teams and at at least 311 participants, up over 100 from last year's 211!
The weather turned out to be very sunny, hot and humid but there was a nice breeze which made it somewhat bearable during the Relay, which began at 7 PM with the opening speeches from Sharlyn Deterding and Denise Ayers (co-chairs), 2010 ACS Hero of Hope, Geri Fromm and Senator Dave Pankonin. The survivor lap, the caregiver lap (new this year) and the white bird release provided by White Flight - www.whiteflight.com.
Activities continued as scheduled and it was a beautiful night with lots of stars and a full moon. By midnight the wind had picked up and the clouds were blowing in and lightning could be seen in the distance. Committee and Team Captains met at center field at 12:30 AM and at that time we found out that potentially severe weather was moving toward Plattsmouth and it was decided that the Relay would be called. Everyone packed up their campsites and cleaned up their trash and left everything in good order and some of the committee went back at 8 AM on Sunday to finish clean up. We'd really like to thank those people who went around the track and picked up all of the luminarias that night before leaving - it was a huge help!
It's not too late to donate if they would still like to. The Cass County web site www.relayforlife.org/casscone will be up and accessible until the end of August and donations can be made to individuals, teams or to the Relay in general. Please call Jan at 402-393-5801 with any questions.
