At the Relay For Life of Greater Stanislaus County every year, once it gets dark Luminaria are lit around the entire track. Each bag represents someone who has died from cancer. The bags are decorated, sometimes elaborately - sometimes with just a name or message or photo. Sand is placed in the bottom of the bags with a candle. It is a beautiful ceremony and very moving to see the Luminaria Memorial Lap.

Normally, at the Relay and and leading up to that day it costs $10 to purchase the blank Luminaria (that includes the sand, candle and set up the day of the Relay). At the kickoff meeting I can get them 2 for $10. If you are interested let me (Amanda Lowas) know and I can purchase them. You can choose to decorate them yourself or let me know what you want on it and I can decorate it for you. I will just need them decorated back to me by the date of the Relay (September 30th).

Welcome to the Modesto Free Will Baptist - Praying for a Cure Relay for Life Team Page!

The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision of ending cancer as we know it, for everyone.

Relay for Life is one of the largest peer-to-peer fundraising events in the world. For more than 35 years, communities around the globe have come together to raise funds for a future free from cancer and we have no intention of ever slowing down.

3. To represent Christ in everything we do.
