Relay for Life – 15 &16 March 2014, Rotorua International Stadium
Every 2 years the Rotorua Cancer Society holds a 22 hour fundraising event – Relay for
Life. Many of us are touched by cancer either personally, through family or friends.
Each team participating in the relay event aims to raise a minimum of $1,000 – all
money raised stays within the Rotorua community to help fund services that the Cancer
Society provides.
This year St Mary’s Board of Trustees and Staff have entered a team into the Relay for
Life. If you would like to be part of the team and or donate to this very worthwhile
cause please contact either Jan Andrews or Lizzy Gaston.
Jan mob 021 500 161 email jand@vodafone.co.nz
Lizzy mob 027 858 9593 email lizzyg@stmarys.rotorua.school.nz
A donation bucket is available in the school office and we will be selling cupcakes for $1.00 each on
Wednesday, Thursday (at Swimming Sports) and Friday.
Relay for Life is a fabulous family and community event that is open to the public so feel free to come and join
us over Saturday and Sunday 15 &16 March at the Rotorua Stadium. We look forward to your support. If you
or anyone you know is a cancer survivor please come and join us for afternoon tea under the marquee at 2pm
on Saturday 15 March.
