Relay for Life T-Shirts - Last Call!

Friday, March 2 is the deadline to order Relay for Life t-shirts to support our school team.  We are looking to make a donation to the American Cancer Society April 20 from the fundraisers that we have had thus far.  We have been able to donate around $12,000 the past few years.  We are trying to donate $13,000 this year.  In order to help us meet our goal, please consider buying a t-shirt to show your spirit as we fill the track April 20th to support those who have battled cancer.  

We will not be ordering extra t-shirts, so please get your order in ASAP!  Thank you!
