A candlelight tribute to those we have lost to cancer.  Friday, June 18, 2004, midnight.  North Thurston High School track.   Public welcome!

Each year at the Relay, you have the opportunity to purchase a luminary to remember a loved one that has been lost to cancer. You will then place the bags around the track for a very moving and special ceremony in which the names being honored are read aloud.  It is important that you submit your names to the registration desk at the event or the e-mail address listed below to ensure your loved one’s name is read.
Luminary bags will be available at the Relay Friday evening for a donation, at which time you may purchase one and place it around the track for the "Midnight Memorial."
You may e-mail the name of a person you wish to honor to our new address created especially for this purpose.  It would help us greatly to have the names in our data base prior to the event. Please e-mail to: Jana and Shawn Ayres or telephone them at (360) 705-8228.

To avoid confusion, please note that The Midnight Memorial is meant to honor loved ones who have lost their lives to cancer.  Cancer survivors are honored during the survivor's lap at the start of The Relay.  Please do not submit names of those who are continuing their fight against the disease.
