The Relay for Life teams in Macon County are hard at work to support the fight against cancer. Relay itself is just around the corner—June 7 at Key Park in Lafayette—but in the meantime, you can support the cause in the following ways:
• Team Captain’s Meeting will be Thursday, April 18th at 5pm at NCTC. All teams need to be represented at this meeting.
• White bag luminaries are currently being sold for a minimum donation of $5 each. Torches are also for sale, for a minimum donation of $25. See Dianne Cook or Connie Blackwell at the courthouse, or any Relay for Life team to purchase a luminary.
• The Macon County Courthouse Officials & Employees Relay for Life team is selling t-shirts which read “Kiss Cancer Goodbye.” The price range is $12-$16, and they are priced according to size. See Diane Cook or Connie Blackwell at the courthouse to place an order.
• The Macon Bank & Trust Relay for Life Team has two fundraisers going on right now: 1) they are selling T-shirts at all branches; and 2) there will be a Banking For a Cure antique car & bike show and family fun day on April 27 at their main branch.

• The Walgreen’s Relay Team is doing something called You’ve Been Skunked. “I’ve got two little skunks, a little girl Penelope and a little boy named Pepe,” said Walgreens Team Leader Dell Giffen. “And what we do is we pass them around. It costs $1 to get rid of it, or $5 to get skunk insurance so you know you won’t get it. So we pass it around to store employees, friends, family, and anyone involved with Relay. So if you’re a Relay person, beware if you come into the store!”
