Vol. 50 No. 84 "Using Communication To Build Better Communities" Grab & Go Relay for Life struggles to meet the mark By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Services for those affected by cancer will remain the same, locally and nationally, but Canadian Cancer Society officials are hoping to get the local Relay for Life event back on track. In fact, the Canadian Cancer Society's Halton Unit is asking residents what it can do to make next year's Relay For Life events better. The query comes after a considerable shortfall in all three "We are down across Relay For Life fund- the board... We can't raisers that took place pinpoint a reason. I across Halton -- would love it if we Oakville, Burlington and Milton -- in could. Our advertising was great, we still June. The event is the have a great largest fundraiser for reputation." the local units. This year's Oakville Maggie Irving, Relay For Life, held Halton Relay for Life June 1, aimed to raise co-ordinator $380,000-$400,000, but came up with just $257,000. This year's June 8 Burlington relay raised only $277,000 of its $377,000 goal while Milton's June 15 event, raised $188,000 of its $320,000 target. The all-night fundraiser brings teams of friends, colleagues, family members and cancer survivors together to celebrate the lives of those living with cancer, remember loved ones lost to cancer and raise funds to fight back against the disease.
