The American Cancer Society Relay for Life offers the opportunity to remember people who have lost their lives to cancer and honor those who have won their battle. The Relay for Life is a 15 hour (overnight) event that brings together teams from local businesses, schools, churches and families for fun, food, music and entertainment. This year's event celebrates 25 years of hope since the Relay got its start in 1985. The Incline Village 2009 Relay for Life Event will be held beginning at 4 p.m. Friday, July 24, through 7 a.m. Saturday, July 25, at Preston Field, 700 Tahoe Boulevard in Incline Village.
One of the most moving aspects of the Relay for Life Event is the Luminaria Ceremony of Hope. As the sun sets over campsites and darkness falls, the night is brightened by the glow of illuminated bags called luminaria. Some celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer and have lived to tell their stories. Many remember the lives of those who have been lost to this disease. All represent someone special who has been profoundly affected by cancer and the family and friends who continue to fight back in their honor.
