On of the largest events on campus this semester was the Relay for Life KICK OFF event that was hosted tonight. And when I say large, I mean I think I saw more purple in the banquet room tonight than I did at the Raven’s game weeks ago. Why, you ask? Because today, students were asked to rock out the purple in honor of relay for life and the American Cancer Association.
Speaking of cancer, tonight at the event, while I enjoyed my snacks, I was able to hear from cancer survivors and there loved ones. The stories I heard were heartfelt and very emotional for 90% of those of us in the room. It makes me reflect upon those who I have lost to cancer in my life.
Furthermore, I really enjoyed how little cupcake reminders and balloons were thrown around campus to make students think about there plans for the evening and not to forget to stop by the event!
