Welcome to the
2010 SCV Relay For Life
Community Website!
We made it!
Relay 2010 was over on August 31st and with a great last-minute effort by our teams,
we made it to $500,000! For the third year in a row we were able to raise over
half a million dollars and continue to be in the top 1% of California Relays!
Thank you to everyone who sent out e-mails, notes, Facebook updates, tweets, and made phone
calls to help us reach this amazing goal. Santa Clarita Valley rocks!! Check out the
Team Totals and
the 2010 Team Rankings.
Also, congratulations to Caring for You, our only
Diamond Fundraising Club Level
team! Pat and
her crew worked hard to raise over $25,000 this year. An amazing accomplishment!
Congratulations Santa Clarita Valley!
Chilly temperatures and a little wind didn't keep
our community away from the 12th Annual Relay For
Life of the Santa Clarita Valley which
took place on May 22-23, 2010,
at Central Park. It was another GREAT event,
thanks to everyone who participated and to all our
Survivors and sponsors!

About Relay:
Relay For Life is a fun-filled overnight
event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for
research and programs of your American Cancer
Society. The Santa Clarita Valley is proud to be
home of the 3rd largest Relay in California, raising over
$560,000 last year! For a detailed description of our
event, check out Relay
101. If you have
questions, see our
Contacts Page or e-mail us at
info@SCVRelay.org.
Luminaria Ceremony DVD:
The Luminaria Ceremony is our time to come together as a community, and Remember those we've lost to
cancer, and Honor those who are still fighting. It's a time of reflection and tears and inspiration.
The view of 5000 neighbors, all standing side by side, holding candles and sending out thoughts of
Hope is breathtaking. This year, our ceremony was filmed from multiple angles, and we have the
unique opportunity to offer this DVD to you for a donation of just $10. All proceeds goes back to
the American Cancer Society to continue this fight.
Purchase your DVD by making a $10 donation to the "Luminaria
Ceremony" team. For questions, email
luminariaceremony@scvrelay.org.
Here's a New Idea: Try a Fundraising NON-EVENT!
This is a great idea from Captains Council Member Tamara Dowling. Instead of planning an event, plan a
non-event! Promise everyone it will be your LAST fundraiser for the year and they can donate, say $20, to
STAY HOME! No packing up the kids, no driving in traffic, no mingling required! Hopefully they will see
the humor and support your fundraiser. Check out the
sample flier and download the
Word document to get
started. Feel free to ask Tamara questions (Tamara@SCVRelay.org). Thanks Tamara for this great new idea!
We Need Your Feedback Santa Clarita Valley!
