The Annual Relay For Life for Kootenai County was held at Greyhound Park and Event Center in Post Falls again this year. This is the 18th year for the Relay in Kootenai County. Over 150 survivors attended the Survivors' Dinner where they enjoyed a wonderful salmon dinner after completing the first lap of our event. A total of 67 teams made up of friends, families, businesses, churches and other non-profit organizations were in attendance.
Happily, this year and met and beat the goal of $100,000, not including many incredible sponsors adding another $40,000 to our total. Even the weather cooperated during the entire event in spite of the predictions of heavy rain!
The event itself was exciting and upbeat thanks in part to dedicated entertainment organizers, Ruby Frog Entertainment. Food and coffee vendors stayed all night providing energy the walkers needed to get through the night. There were a lot of games and goodies, the silent auction was busy all night. The Mr. Relay competition was hilarious, as usual.
Thanks go out to to all the incredible people and businesses that helped put on the amazing event. The Relay for Life's committee, sponsors, donors, team captains and survivors were amazing. Wrapping up the 2010 Relay For Life, all involved look forward to next year.
