CELEBRATE LIFE Harding rallies for 12 hours at third annual Relay for Life Afundraiser established in 1986 by Dr. Gordy Klatt, a surgeon in Tacoma, Wash., Relay for Life was held annually to raise money and to spread awareness for the American Cancer Society. The event took place in thousands of locations across the globe, and Harding hosted its own event Oct. 12. There were 23 teams, which included 350 students who fund raised from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. The night was a time to celebrate the many birthdays that cancer survivors had after their battle with cancer and to remember those who lost their fight. Social clubs played a large part in the success of Relay for Life. Service directors from clubs planned for months for the fund raisers they held that night. TNT and Zeta Rho sold hot dogs and chili, Iota Chi sold tie-dyed T-shirts, Pi Theta Phi let people paint plates and Delta Nu took photo booth pictures for $2 a picture. The service directors of Delta Gamma Rho, seniors Annalyse Faulk and Brooke Durgin, could not think of any idea more appealing than giving students the opportunity to play with puppies. "As soon as we thought of the idea, I just knew we had to do it," Durgin said. "Most students don't have pets since they live in the dorms, so I knew they would be willing to pay for an opportunity to pet the puppies." An important part of the event was the survivors who spoke about their battle with cancer and gave hope to those who had lost loved ones. The speakers were Becky 58 1 Social Clubs Boaz, instructor of Family and Consumer Sciences, and her daughter, freshman Whitney Putska. The co-chairs of the Relay for Life committee, seniors Hannah Stone and Kelsey Deshazo, said that the presence of the survivors at the event showed people the importance of relaying and how people could benefit from the money raised that night. "I think it brings it to reality and puts a face to the cause," Deshazo said. "Instead of raising money for whoever, it's like we're raising money for these people." Deshazo and Stone worked diligently for months to make certain everything went smoothly the night of the event. They agreed that it was completely worth it because the event raised about $10,000, and they had a lot of fun along the way. "It's so much fun to be on the committee," Stone said. "You get to talk to people and hear their stories. I would encourage everyone to get involved, even if they don't know what it is because it's a lot of fun." Most Relay for Life events did not have a Christian foundation, but Harding students were able to bring their faith to the cause by praying during the event and talking about what God had done in the lives of the survivors. At the end of night, everyone was exhausted, but the students were thrilled they had made an impact by supporting the fight against cancer and having fun at the same time. Kimberly Miller
