“Paint the Town Purple” with the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of St. Johns
Businesses, community organizations and individuals showed their support for Relay and helped raise awareness for the fight against cancer by decking out the town – including homes, restaurants, businesses, meeting halls or other areas- in purple.
“We want everyone to see purple and to think about finishing the fight against cancer”, said Mike Zigler, Chariman, of the 2013 Relay For Life. “Whether you use purple chalk to write an uplifting message, display a different reminder each day about important cancer screenings or dress a mannequin in Relay gear, it’s all about letting people know that there is hope. The sky is the limit on what you can do to decorate and send that message.”
Paint the Town Purple supports Relay For Life of St. Johns, an overnight event that brings the community together in the fight against cancer, which will be held May 17 at the St. Johns City Park Fairgrounds.
Individuals and teams – made up of family, friends, co-workers and community groups – will unite to fund raise, walk the track, socialize, take in the entertainment, and participate in a variety of activities going on throughout the night. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend.
