MargaRELAYville For Life

The American Cancer Society held its annual Relay For Life South Tampa on April 23rd, 2010 at Plant High School. Individuals and local businesses throughout the community rallied together and formed teams to support survivors, raise money and walk in memory of those who lost the battle against Cancer. This 18-hour camp-out-esque event themed “MargaRELAYville…Finding a Cure in Paradise,” carried on throughout the night and included a moving “Luminaria” Ceremony celebrating those who battled against Cancer and honored and remembered those gone too soon. The evening also featured teams participating in ongoing games, contests and “themed” laps around the field. Icon B. was in proud attendance as the “Iconic For Life” team and joined forces with Fred Astaire Dance Studios Tampa Bay who offered dance lessons for donations to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The event was truly an extraordinary and memorable experience. Congratulations to the entire South Tampa Relay committee that included Judy Gay and Lauren McQueen for their exceptional dedication and to everyone who participated for raising above and beyond the targeted donation goal of $150,000 for the Relay in South Tampa!
