Last June 12, The American Cancer Society held its annual Relay For Life event at the Bayside Athletic Field in Flushing, NY, for communities around the world to honor the lives of people who have fought hard against the destructive disease. Since 1985, Relay For Life has become an important yearly tradition wherein participants highlight the central theme - to celebrate the rebirth of the survivors, to remember the lives lost, and to fight back against cancer for a better future.
Firstrade Securities Inc. has likewise maintained its own tradition of being a proud sponsor of the life-changing event for several years. This year, Firstrade was honored to be the major sponsor of Relay for Life. John Liu, CEO of Firstrade Securities, gave the keynote speech wherein he advocated the importance of prevention and treatment of cancer.
Relay for Life is an overnight, 24-hour long event with a festive atmosphere. There were food stands, shows and special tents for the event participants and cancer patients. Teams camped out at a park, local high school or fairground and took turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team was asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. There were special educational tents such as the Health Fair and Survivor Tents that provided health information as well as nutrition and relaxation workshops. Participants took part in competitive activities such as scavenger hunts, relay races and sack races. There were also special stage performances ranging from martial arts demonstrations, traditional dances and inspirational song numbers.
All funds raised are contributed to American Cancer Society.
The Relay holds special inspirational events keeping in line with the theme of “Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back.” The Survivors Lap invited survivors to circle the track to celebrate the victories achieved over cancer. After dark, a touching “Luminaria Ceremony” was held to honor people whose lives were changed by cancer. Candles were lit inside bags filled with sand, each one bearing the name of a person touched by cancer. Lastly, the Fight Back Ceremony, called on everyone to make a personal commitment to save lives by taking up the fight against cancer.
