Making a Difference: Paint the Village Purple
So you’ve probably heard the phrase “to think pink” in relation to breast cancer. Well this year, with January’s Paint the Village Purple event, the American Cancer Society gave those affected by cancer and their supporters an opportunity to start 2010 on the good foot and add another color to their spectrum of awareness.
Paint the Village Purple brought families to MonteLago Village at Lake Las Vegas for a fun day of activities in support of a great cause. In addition to ice skating, shopping and dining specials and special prize giveaways, visitors were given the opportunity to donate to, and learn how to pre-register for, the annual Relay for Life event that will be held April 24, 2010 at Palo Verde High School.
Relay for Life is a fundraising event that gives communities across the world a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember lost loved ones and fight back against the disease. During this 24-hour event, relay teams will camp out on Palo’s field while at least one member of their team is walking or running on the track at any given time. If you missed your chance to paint the village purple, visit www.relayforlife.org to learn how you can participate in the fun, family Relay for Life.
