Kickoff 2008
We "Kicked Off" the 2008 Relay For Life on Thursday, January 31, 2008 at the
map to Betty J. Queen Intergenerational Center  ::  522 Industrial Drive Louisa, Virginia  23093 Betty J. Queen Intergenerational Center
522 Industrial Drive Louisa, Virginia 23093
We had roughly 150 enthusiastic people show up to celebrate the new theme of Relay:
"Celebrate, Remember, Fight Back"
Give me a few days to collect the pictures and I'll make a 2008 collage -- in the meantime, enjoy looking at 2007's Kickoff! ~Beck
We are proud to tell you that this year's Relay University recognized
Louisa's outstanding accomplishments in 2007 !
our accomplishments in 2007
UVa Health Systems

New this year, the UVa mobile mammography unit had appointments available for 17 mammograms. Our goal was to reach women who had never had a mammogram, and there was a grant in place to pay for uninsured women all the way through a biopsy, if necessary.
19 women got mammograms, several for the first time! 5 were uninsured.

First Annual Kids Walk

Also new this year, the First Annual Kid's Walk drew 75 kids! More youth involvement was a goal of the committee this year, and we think Tina did a great job!

Virginia Blood Services

Virginia Blood Services brought its mobile unit to Relay for the first time, hoping for 25 donors. They were so pleased that 47 blood donors volunteered, that they plan to return next year. 23 useable donations!

Locks of Love

Mary Cripe and Cody Covey

Cody Covey made a big impression on us this year, when he agreed to grow his hair for Relay For Life as a fundraiser.
A rowdy crowd gathered to see Mary Cripe shave his head, and many were moved to donated their hair to Locks of Love (I mailed in 8 donations of hair !) Cody raised almost $1500 !

2nd Annual Poker Run

The 2nd Annual Poker Run was organized by Robin Gilmer and Rick and Leanna Davis. With 100 bikes registered and a great After-party at Earlyhouse, the run was a great success. $3500 raised!

2007 Relay University

Louisa County came in 6th in the Nation in per capita giving in our size range!
