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)

  • Teams: 360
  • Participants: 1,856
  • Money Raised: 103,042.03
We've still got a long way to go to our goal but I know we can make it!
