2011 Relay For Life Was a Success

The 2011 Relay For Life of Lake Travis was held on Friday, April 15 at the Hill Country Galleria Mall.  As always and because of the new location there were some glitches, but nobody aside from the Planning Committee seemed to notice.

After having the survivors and their families and caregivers start the first lap the Lake Travis Jazz Ensemble kicked off the entertainment.  A good crowd gathered in the Amphitheater to watch and listen.  Then other Relay For Life participants started walking the make-shift track.

I don't have final numbers and will probably not for a while, but my guess is that we had around a dozen cancer survivors, 25 or so teams, over 200 participants and we probably raised around $30,000.

As always, the Luminaria Ceremony was excellent.  The Lake Travis High School students who planned that part of Relay did a great job reading various parts of the ceremony including transforming Hope to Cure.
