Iota Rho enters
‘Relay for Life’
The Iota Rho Chapter of Zeta
Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. will have
a team participating in the Relay
for Life on Friday, April 26, and
Saturday, April 27.
Relay For Life is a fun-filled
overnight event designed to
celebrate survivorship and raise
money for research and programs
of your American Cancer Society.
During the event, teams of
people will gather at the Rocky
Mount Senior High Athletic
Complex and take turns walking
or running laps. Each team tries
to keep at least one team member
on the track at all times.
Relay For Life represents the
hope that those lost to cancer will
never be forgotten, that those who
face cancer will be supported, and
that one day, cancer will be
eliminated.
Luminaries will be placed
around the track in the beginning
hours of the Relay for Life on
Friday, April 26. The luminaries
will remain lighted throughout the
night. The names of the honoree
will be on each luminary. At 9
p.m. there will be a luminary
p.m. there will be a cancer
survivors walk. Cancer survivors
(one year, five years, one month,
it doesn’t matter are needed to
walk in the Cancer Survivor Lap,
the opening lap of the Relay for
Life. Cancer survivors can run,
walk, or wheelchair the opening
lap.
If you are interested in making
a donation to the Iota Rho team,
purchasing a luminary, or you are
a cancer survivor and would like
