What is the Miss Relay for Hope Pageant? |
|
What started as a small fundraising idea in a Walmart Safety Team meeting, has grown and caused more excitement than we could have ever anticipated! Miss Relay for Hope is an annual fundraiser pageant for girls ages 1-21 years old. The pageant is held in New Boston, Texas and is coordinated by the Walmart Safety Team store #181. One hundred percent of the proceeds from this event will be donated to the Relay for Life, benefitting the American Cancer Society. The Miss Relay for Hope represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day this disease will be eliminated forever.
One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. The funds raised at this Pageant help save lives by funding cutting-edge cancer research, early detection and prevention education, advocacy efforts and life affirming patient services. But these events are not simply organized to raise funds, but also to involve communities, give the ACS a local presence, and provide communities the opportunity to own this mission.
Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in our community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people from all walks of life have fun while raising much-needed funds to fight cancer and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment. The Relay is a life-changing event that brings together more than 3.5 million people to:
· Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer and inspires others to continue to fight.
· Remember loved ones lost to the disease
· Fight Back! We Relay because we have all been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an end to the disease. |
