STEPS Rallying Call to Relay for Life: Southington STEPS Up To Cancer

With Southington’s annual Relay for Life less than two months away, the spectacular two-day event to fight cancer is getting ready to step off at 4:00 pm, Friday, May 31, 2013 at Southington High School’s Athletic Field, continuing around the clock into Saturday, June 1st. 

Thousands have walked in Southington's annual Relay for Life, successfully raising money in many ways each year to battle Cancer.
 
As of April 3rd, forty-three teams and 327 participants in have begun to shape up their campaigns, having already raised $29,105.67 for Relay for Life.  

This year’s STEPS, (Southington’s Town-wide Efforts to Promote Success), has organized a Relay for Life Team of students who are proactively engaged in the STEPS movement in their schools, within the Youth Council and throughout the community. They've dubbed their team: Southington STEPS Up To Cancer.  
Co-Team Captains Trever Medeiros Rogers and Sarah Lamb said their team has worked energetically to create an exciting website to promote their campaign.

The team and members of the Southington High School Key Club will be selling wrist bands for $1.00 each to students who would like to participate in a Hat Day at school on Friday, April 11th.  

The wrist bands will be sold during lunch period at school on Wednesday April 10, Thursday April 11, and during homeroom on Hat Day itself, Friday, April 11th. Rogers stated that inappropriate hats will not be permitted.  

The STEPS team is promoting the sale of memorial luminaries to people who want to honor their loved ones as well as cancer survivors.  The team will also be soliciting sponsors for kids walking laps around the track starting Friday, May 31, 2013 at 4:00 pm and into Saturday, June 1st at the S.H.S. Athletic Field.  
As shown on the website of the Southington STEPS Up To Cancer, the team has already reached 51.5% of its goal of $1,000.
