2011 VTRelay Shirts!!
This years shirt is available for purchase at the campus bookstores!! They are $10 and the proceeds go directly to VTRelay.
I think this year's shirt is awesome! "Invent the Cure" is a fantastic play on the school's slogan of "Invent the Future" where we strive to develop new technologies and lead the way in innovation. So what better slogan than "Invent the Cure"for a Relay For Life event that has led the way for years now as the number one collegiate event?!
Buy yours today!!

$100,000
VTRelay has passed the $100,000 online fundraising mark!!
We passed it during Relay Kickoff last night which was a ton of fun. Everyone pigged out on a ton of baked goods (soooo many cookies!!), enjoyed fantastic performances by Natty Sharp, Sensations and Low Techs and listened to a wonderful presentation by Dr. Harrison.
There are now only 64 days until Relay For Life takes over the Drillfield for annual event.
Here are the numbers so far (as of 12:10 on 2/17/11)

Script Writing
On Wednesday February 16th I will have been in charge of leading the planning for 4 of the last 5 Relay For Life at Virginia Tech's Kickoff events (spring '08, spring '09, fall '10, spring '11). And even though I can basically plan these entire events over night there is still one aspect of planning that always takes me forever....writing the script. It's just always a struggle for me (every time) trying to figure out exactly what I want to say without sounding silly or "scripted". Luckily because I've written 4 of these before I've learned what works and what doesn't work and what sounds good and what sounds cheese/lame. This is my last Kickoff so I want the script to be perfect, fingers crossed.
There is one great thing about writing a script though, being able to tell everyone just how important the work of the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life are. All of the work that we are doing is saving thousands of lives every year and the number of survivors grows every day.
Make sure to attend this year's Spring Kickoff on Wednesday February 16th. I promise that well before then I'll have this script done and ready to go. The event is going to be fantastic, you don't want to miss out!

Cupcakes everywhere!!
Relay For Life at Virginia Tech's Annual Spring Kickoff is in a week from tomorrow!!
So as my committee and I finalize preparations we started to make homemade decorations (they are super cute and well...free). This means that I've been making lots of cut out construction paper cupcakes!
Creating these have caused me to realize...why don't we still make homemade decorations or play with construction paper?
We've still got more to make but I'm thinking Spring Kickoff is definitely going to look like a Birthday Party!

What if...
A fantastic video put together by Annalee, our Fundraising chair. I know that this can go from a "what if we can cure cancer" to a "we are curing cancer". Help make this change.
