Less than 100 days!!!

There are less than 100 days until the 2011 Relay For Life at Virginia Tech!!!

As my last spring semester starts I realize how unbelievable it is the amount of work that myself and others have put into this fantastic event over the course of my 4 years at Virginia Tech.

When I first filled out a committee application in the fall of 2007, the event had about 2,000-3,000 participants.  Now the event has more than doubled in size and is on the verge of tripling. Our goal of 7,500 participants is easily reachable and possibly even passable.
In 2008 we raised over $200,000 but by fall that year we were hearing numbers like $300,000!! Those of us on Exec that year thought that was absurd but little did we know we'd pass it.  Not only did we pass $300,000 in 2009, in 2010 we raised over $480,000!!  In the last 2 years our event single handily raised over $1 million for the American Cancer Society.  We are looking to raise 3 quarters of a million dollars this year alone...that's $750,000 (in case you didn't know).

My committee and I have begun plans for the Spring 2011 Kickoff and we're super excited about some changes we've made from past Kickoff's as well as an incredibly exciting theme -- Happy Birthday VTRelay!
*In case you didn't know the Relay For Life at Virginia Tech turns 10 year's old this year! We've been helping fund the fight against cancer for a whole decade :)

I've also been working on a secret fundraiser that is sure to cause some excitement around campus - keep an eye out!

As always if you want to help me reach my goal of raising $1000 in the memory of my Grandma and Grandpa Rex who lost their battles with cancer please use the 2nd link under "Links" on the side of my page to donate!
