Brazil Prepares for First Relay For Life Scheduled for June 2006
The Brazilian Cancer League (Associação Brasileira do Câncer) recently conducted an enthusiastic and well-attended kick-off event for their Relay For Life launch, scheduled for September 2006. One-hundred participants including team captains, current partners, sponsors, and potential volunteers and sponsors gathered to discuss logistics and share event updates. The volunteers participated in a seminar about their duties, and a well-known Brazilian Actress spoke passionately about the Relay For Life, or "Revezando Pela Vida" launch. The group conducted a small luminaria ceremony while a musician played a guitar, and everyone joined hands and stamped a white canvas in a culturally symbolic gesture to demonstrate their commitment and dedication to
cancer control and this event.
