COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION MEETING
DATE: September 11, 2000
ITEM TITLE: American Cancer Society's "Relay for Life"
RECOMMENDATION:
As deemed appropriate by the Community Services Commission.
BACKGROUND:
The American Cancer Society (Society) presented information to the City Council at
the August 15, 2000 City Council meeting regarding the "Relay for Life" event that will
be held on October 14-15, 2000 at the La Quinta High School track. This is a fund-
raiser for the Society, as well as an awareness campaign. Information regarding the
event is provided as Attachment A.
The City Council directed staff to put the "Relay for Life" on the September 19, 2000
City Council agenda for consideration. Staff was then contacted by members of the
Historic Preservation Commission as well as the Planning Commission, wishing to
participate as part of the City's team (should the City Council so direct staff to
coordinate such a team.)
This item is being presented to the Community Services Commission in advance of the
City Council's actions, as the Community Services Commission meets on October 9,
2000, and this may be too late for Commissioners to make a commitment to
participate in the event.
The Community Services Commission may wish to be represented on the City's "Relay
for Life" team, should the City Council so desire to sponsor a team. Staff will contact
the Commissioners after September 19, 2000 as to the Council's direction.

on October 14-15, 2000; or

ATTACHMENT A
WHAT IS IT? Relay for Life is a 24-hour community campout that allows people from
all walks of life to join together to fight cancer. Participants include cancer patients and
survivors, physicans and medical support staff, business and civic organizations,
churches and community volunteers.
TEAM PARTICIPATION: Teams are formed by people taking turns walking or running
in shifts, with at least one person on the track at all times. Each team member pays a
$10 registration fee and is encouraged to raise a minimum of $100 to earn a t-shirt.
Teams can be organized by friends, relatives, co-workers, interest groups, clubs,
schools, churches and other community organizations.
CEREMONIES: The Relay for Life opens as cancer survivors walk, run or wheelchair
the first lap to great fanfare from the crowd. This is an emotional time and sets the
stage for the importance of each participant's contribution. The luminary ceremony is
held after dark to honor cancer survivors and to remember those who have lost their
battle against cancer. Thousands of paper bags with lit candles line the track to
remind friends and loved ones of the incredible importance of their contribution.
WHY DO WE DO IT? One in three Americans will get cancer in their lifetime. One
eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Everyone is personally affected in
cancer, sooner or later. Today, slightly more than half of cancer patients survive.
by
survival rate can be increased through more research and greater communityThis
awareness of health issues. Relay forLife gives everyone an opportunity to fight back-
-to make a difference in the battle against cancer!
