Relay for Life in Pacifica on July 31


By on Wed, July 14, 2004

The 5th annual Relay For Life is in Pacifica, 11am Saturday, July 31 to 11am Sunday, August 1st, at the Terra Nova High School track. This is a 24 hour community gathering to raise funds for cancer research, education, and patient services.  You can walk as much, as you wish.

Ginny McShane will be walking the track honoring her best friend, Maxine Gonsalves, whom she lost to cancer this year. Cancer survivors will also be walking, along with those battling the disease.  Ginny’s seeking sponsors.

The simplest way to sponsor her is to purchase luminaries at suggested donation could be $5.00. Luminaries are bags with the name of the person you are honoring/remembering.  These bags are filled with sand and a candle.  The luminaries are placed around the track at dusk for a special ceremony, and then are used to light up the track for the night walkers.  For more information,  contact Ginny McShane at 728-3130 or Co-chair Sandy Sickenger at 355-8486.
