John Pings, Event Chair of this year’s Altadena Relay for Life, wanted us to share this message to the people of Altadena:

Thank you for supporting your American Cancer Society and the 3rd Annual Relay for Life of Altadena.

We are so grateful so many of you came out on such a busy day in Altadena.  Our heartfelt thanks to all that came and volunteered their time and effort to be part of the Fight Back! Against Cancer.  We especially want to thank the County of Los Angeles, and the Department of Recreation for co-sponsoring your Relay and being our hosts at beautiful Farnsworth Park, home of the best park staff anywhere.

Thanks to all of our sponsors, and those that donated their time, funds or in-kind donations of food and snacks to help support the Fight Against Cancer.  And special thanks to the awesome entertainers who helped us maintain a high energy level through their gift of music, fueling our Relay for Life walkers  with positive vibes and an uplifting spirit as they walked for 24 hours.  And a special thank you to the volunteers and Committee Members who put in hundreds of hours to make Relay happen.

In appreciation to all of Altadena’s Relay Community, please enjoy our Luminare Ceremony again in a short video at the following web ink ==> http://vimeo.com/25046282.

Did you have fun? Was Relay special to you? Do you want to join the the Fight Against Cancer in your own community? Well, we are already getting set for 2012!!
