Just in case anyone is wondering, this is my pink Flamingo costume.. I can't ride a real one. Although I look only 3 ft tall, I'm really about 5'6". Those are my legs being used by the flamingo. heheheheheh Ok, so why am I wearing a pink camo T-shirt and riding the pink bird? It is for the Red Bluff Round-Up Rodeo parade. I am part of the Relay for Life committee and this years theme is "Happy Birthday" since it is our 10th year. Ladies.. Only REAL men wear pink.. But, REALLY REALLY REAL men can wear pink while in a pink flamingo costume with a bunch of cowboys on both sides of the street!

The Relay For Life is put on every single year by the American Cancer Society in order to celebrate and remember all of the people lost to cancer every year. Along with being a memorial

Are you ready for an awesome 2014 Relay For Life season? We are all fired up here in Custer County to finish the fight! Share your love and passion about Relay by participating in Cancer Man's February Facebook Relay For Life challenge! A Facebook challenge is a great way to get your Relay participants actively posting about your event on a daily basis. I wrote this challenge to feature the best parts of Relay- when the posters friends see it, they should feel like they are missing out if they don't sign up (and hey, let's be honest- they are!) Need a copy of the challenge to share or post on your Facebook wall? Just Right click and save the image below! Good luck! UPDATE: Your wish is my command! You can find a March challenge here!

Tonight is our first Team Captain Meeting for Relay for Life 2014... and I'm giddy. I love Relay, and if you've been reading my blog for a while you've seen multiple posts on Relay. This year our Theme is "Be A SUPERHERO". I love Superhero's and I am so excited to use this theme. I have all sorts of ideas! I wanted to share this post mainly so I remember it and so I can pin these items and let other Relay'er use the ideas. I found most of these on Pinterest from Super Hero Birthday Parties and then I changed them a bit for Relay. Others I came up with. Enjoy and hopefully they are useful to others!

So, I've had a Pinterest account for a while now. But, I just recently became addicted. I can't stop pinning!!! I've mainly been obsesse...

Does your Relay have a lot of events going on this time of year? Like, so many you can't seem to keep track of what team is doing what on which day and you missed out on an awesome fundraiser, because your phone calendar can only hold so many dots? Can you tell I have had some personal experience here? Check out this great idea from my friend Sarah of The Little Things in Life, and how we implemented it at our local event! Sarah made this cute little postcard to send out to all of her survivors, post locally, and give out at team captain meetings. It has important information on upcoming events on it in calendar form! Sarah is the event chair for Relay For Life of Washita County, which is the next event area over from our event, so we talk Relay on a pretty regular basis. When I saw this, I knew we should do it for our event to! Especially because we have a fairly large Relay, and there are a lot of things that go on here in March and April fundraising wise! So, this is what I came up with. It is great for posting on your Relay facebook page, instagram, twitter- you name it! You can even add it to your event website (you can see mine here) Now of course, I want to share my template with you in case you want to do the same thing! Just right click and save the image below :) In case you are curious, I do all of my editing in Adobe Photoshop, however Sarah does hers in an online program called picmonkey.com in case you don't have Photo Shop- it is a free service! Happy Relay season everyone! <3 Cassi
