Luminaria at the
Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan
Spring Show 2001
Relay for Life Booth
In April

In July, Radio Soo/101FM will once again be participating in the local American Cancer Society's Relay for Life 24-hour walk.

This is a community event, with the goal of raising funds for cancer research while coming together with family, friends, neighbors and cancer survivors to remember those who have died of cancer, and to give hope to those who are living with the disease.

As part of the fund-raising, people buy luminarias (sample shown at left) in honor of loved ones who have died from or who are surviving with cancer.
The bags are filled with sand and a candle is placed inside. The bags are then placed around the area high school track for the full 24 hours of the Relay. The candles shining throughout the night are a symbol of hope.

This year, I will be walking again with our radio station team - and will decorate a luminaria for George Harrison, in addition to my family luminarias.
