"As the sun sets over campsites and darkness falls, the night is brightened by the glow of illuminated bags called luminaria, each of which has a special meaning. Some celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer and have lived to tell their stories. Many remember the lives of those who have been lost to this disease. All represent someone special who has been profoundly affected by cancer and the family and friends who continue to fight back in their honor."
(ACS website)
It's time to order your luminarias, please email and tell us how many you would like. You will be decorating one side with either "in honor of" or "in memory of" your own friends or family affected by this disease- or we can decorate & label for you. Luminarias are $10 each, they do count towards your individual fundraising goal.
Sadly there is never a shortage of luminarias to be lit. Remember each one represents someone who is fighting, or has died from cancer. It touches us all, that's why we do this. People have described this part of the event as life changing, moving, emotional and a real wake up call.
It will be my first time to see this, Becky said it was incredible last year** better bring tissues:)
