It was held on October 27th inside the GLC Multipurpose Room (thanks to wonderful Blacksburg weather that kept us from being outside). There were performances by two of Virginia Tech's a cepella groups: Juxtaposition and Soulstice
As well as a performance by The Dance Company Of Virginia Tech and the premiere of the Virginia Tech Relay Rap by some of the VTRelay Executive Committee Members.

| The Hokie Bird welcoming everyone to Kickoff |
The best part, aside from the Hokie Bird dancing to the rap, was hearing the fantastic story of our Guest Speaker, Robynn Jaymes. She is one of the local morning radio personalities on 94.9 Star Country out of Roanoke, VA and a breast cancer survivor. Robynn has also been a caregiver for her mom and father who battled cancer. She has been a supporter of the American Cancer SocietyVTRelay enjoys having her speak at our events because she is the reason we all want to see an end to cancer, so no one has to care for a family member with cancer or battle it on their own....both of which she has done. Robynn Jaymes is one of our heroes.

I know my committee, Exec and I are very proud of this year's Fall Kickoff and are looking forward to start planning the Spring Kickoff!
