Score by entering early now for the 2019 Cansa Relay for Life
“The theme for 2019 will be Relay Olympics, so create a team flag for the opening ceremony. Amazing prizes to be won.
The East Rand community will be hosting the eighth annual Cansa Relay For Life next year on March 8 and 9.
According to Yolandi Jacobs, the community mobiliser fund-raising developer East Rand, at the heart of the relay, which takes place annually in Boksburg, is the opportunity to celebrate cancer survivors, to remember those who have left us and create awareness about cancer.
Jacobs said new times have been introduced – 7pm to 7am- so that all can be in time for the opening ceremony.
“We are also very excited that it will be back at the Boksburg Stadium,” said Jacobs.
The 2018 Cansa Relay for Life took place at PG Park for the first time.
She said an early bird special is now on offer of R1 000 (team of 10), which runs until January 15. This includes five parking tickets and five Luminaria bags. The normal fee is R1 200 per team.
“Now is also the time to do your pre-fund-raising before the day and also stand the chance to win prizes for the most raised.
“Last year we had 47 teams and 134 cancer survivors. Our aim this year is to have at least 60 teams and 200 cancer survivors.
“We challenge the community to support this incredible cause and to come out in numbers.”
