Community Service is my middle name…

By: Trey “Community Service” Monroe

• Relay for Life is a Great way to serve the community.

• All the money raised by Relay For Life is donated to the American Cancer Association.

What Is Relay For Life?

• Relay is a “race” of sorts that honors those who have had cancer and try and help find a cure for those with cancer.

How does the fundraiser raise money?• The way relay for life works is, organizations

such as Freshmen Year Experience get a team together to try and raise money. They come up with fun ideas such as a Tie Dying tent to try and raise money for the team. The FYE team is charging a certain amount for each shirt we dye. People donate money according to how many laps a member runs. For example if I asked my dad’s company to donate money he would say we will give you 100 dollars to run a mile.

Important?

• I believe that serving my community betters myself and the others around me.

• My aunt died of cancer when I was young so the Relay For Life fundraiser was right up my alley.

• I have also had a friend diagnosed with breast cancer just last year.

FYE

• I was on the FYE team our theme was Hanging Cancer Out to Dry.

Laundry Theme

• We had a work day of cutting out poster board in the shape of clothing for decorating the tent.

The Big Night

• The Relay took place April 13-14 from 7p.m. Till 7 a.m.

• They served Dinner and Breakfast for us

• We tied dyed towels and also had a skittles booth in order to raise money.

Sebastian

• Sebastian, as Pricilla, the girl who thinks granny’s are too loose and thongs are too tight.

• Caitlin was looking fine!

• We stayed up until 7 am in the morning, the night got quite long. These pictures were taken around 5a.m.

Cold

• The Night got cold so Marcie and I had to keep warm.

What Community Service means to me.

• To me community service is helping the community, by provide little to none services.

• Usually when I serve the community I have a great time doing it.

• It makes me feel better to help people that are less fortunate than myself.

Did I enjoy it?• You Bet I Did!

• I will do Relay For Life Next year and the Years to come because helping my community is in my blood.
