2008 Hobsons Bay Relay For Life Launch - a great success!!

On Monday 28th July we held a fantastic launch for the 2008 Hobsons Bay Relay For Life. Thank-you to everyone who attended and the
7 new teams who registered on the night. Wow!!

Our favourite celebrity Sid The Seagul made an appearance to say hello. Plus we also heard from
Tina Thomas, Cancer Support Coordinator, and the beautiful voice of singer Katrina Free. The Pirate’s Tavern at Seaworks was a wonderful venue, in the heart of the Williamstown Maritime precinct.

Our early-bird prize draw of 2 x Village Gold Class passes was won by The Link Team. Congratulations. See some photos here.

2008 Relay For Life Dates
The 2008 event will be from 4pm on Saturday 22nd November to 10am on Sunday 23rd November, 2008

Relay for Life is an 18-hour, overnight team event to raise funds for the Cancer Council Victoria's cancer research, education and support programs.

You’ll be celebrating the lives of those who have survived cancer, remembering those lost to cancer and supporting people battling the disease.

All you need is to get together 10 or more friends to form a team, do some fundraising and come along to the event.

Team members take turns to keep their baton moving overnight, enjoying the sensational festive atmosphere created through entertainment, camping, spot prizes and, most importantly, the vibrancy of the hundreds of lively people on the track!

It’s about passion and comradeship, team building and rallying a community to take up the fight.

Survivors are our VIPs
