7:00 - 9:00 PM

The Relay for Life 2008

Friday 20th June to Saturday, 21st June 08 morning.

Our 'Base camp' at the Relay for Life 2007

We are once again registering a team for the Brampton Relay for Life.
This year the event takes place at the Brampton Fairgrounds on June 20 – 21.

It is our understanding that the schedule will include:
A Survivors' Reception at 5 p.m. on Friday,
Registration opening at 6 p.m. on Friday evening;
Opening Ceremonies starting at 7 p.m. on Friday
and Closing Ceremonies at 7 a.m. Saturday morning.

We hope that many of you will join us for the Reception,
stay for the very moving Opening Ceremonies and then
take the first Survivors' Victory Lap with your
fellow survivors. You’ve earned the right.

You can also purchase Luminaries for $5 each to honour
someone who has succumbed to Cancer or to
support someone who continues to fight it.

Finally, you can join Tilly Netherton and volunteer to assist
with the operation of Relay for Life. If you have never
walked before but wish to join our team, please don't be shy.
Phone, e-mail or see me at a monthly meeting.
Your participation will be most welcome.
We share a lot of laughs and a few tears throughout the
night of the Relay.

This year's golf committee includes many experienced veterans from our previous
events. Jointly they have been working on the agenda for the 2008 golf tournament.
The team has selected the Acton Golf Club as one best suited for our needs.

Acton. Ontario   Tel: (519) 853-0631        (800) 728-1895

The Acton Golf Club is an attractive course neatly  tucked away
on the edge of the Niagara Escarpment. The course 
plays through mature stands of oak, birch, maple and pine trees. 

Although the course features a fairly short 5,305 yard par 68 layout, golfers should
not take Acton too lightly. Exceptionally tight, tree lined fairways and water in play
on just about every hole, means a golfer always has his or her hands full staying
out of trouble providing a challenging layout for golfers of all caliber.

As with any voluntary operation, our continued existence depends on raising
funds to purchase necessary office supplies, rent meeting space, cover honoraria
to our top-notch guest speakers, and pay for other expenses too numerous to mention.

Beyond this, UsToo! Brampton has donated substantially to the "LIVING PROOF"
campaign and other Canadian Prostate Cancer Network (CPCN) awareness
projects and to The William Osler Hospital Foundation.

Most recently, we undertook to introduce "Cruisin' for a Cure" to Canada.
This one-day car show, started in Costa Mesa, CA, is designed to increase
public awareness of Prostate Cancer through event promotion and through
free PSA blood tests offered to all men over 40 years of age. Our First Annual
'Cruisin' for a Cure' Canada on September 1, 2007 saw 136 men tested.

While organizing and promoting this event, we found that much of the general
public is either totally unaware of the magnitude and severity of the crisis
in Prostate Cancer diagnosis and treatment or badly misinformed.
Clearly, there is a great deal of work to be done to remedy this situation.

We need to maintain these ongoing efforts to increase public awareness, but we
can only do so through the generosity of individuals and corporations who
are willing to donate to this worthy cause.

Thank you for your assistance.
