Relay For Life to benefit The American Cancer Society, June 3-4, 2006 The Javans would like to thank their family and friends who donated for this good cause. Here are some of the pictures taken during the event that they want to share with you. The relay went on until Sunday morning, but the highlight of the event was the "Luminaria," (June 3rd, 9 p.m.) wherein white paper bags are decorated with names of people whose lives were touched by cancer. Names of survivors and those who lost the battle were written on these white paper bags and were decorated, filled with sand and a votive candle lit inside. These bags were put side by side and arranged around the the track & field oval on both sides. All lights were turned off, a 12-year old boy who won the fight against cancer gave a speech, as the boy was speaking all the other survivors lit up their candles first and everyone lit the others' candles and passed along the light, a prayer was said, then people started walking around again, but this time around the "illuminated" track, holding a lighted candle. Very emotional and beautiful! Thank you again for your support, enjoy the photos and see you next year!
