Last Friday, Jessamine County held their annual Kickoff event for Relay for Life. We had a great turn out of over 50 people. This year's Kickoff also included the 1st ever Relay Chili Cook off. The winner was a white bean chili made by Jeff Smothers. Congratulations Jeff!
We were also very fortunate to have Mindy Jackson, owner of Jessamine School of Classical Dance, speak to our group about her battle with thyroid cancer. Another special guest we had on hand was our 2011 Honorary Chair, Ms. MaKayla Correll. MaKayla was diagnosed three years ago with gliobastoma multiforme. She now is eleven years and we are so excited to have her Grand Marshal our Relay for Life this year.
Other activities included honoring survivors, a mini luminaria ceremony, and 2011 Relay announcements including the theme for this year, "Carnival for a Cure" and the Team Captain meeting dates. First team captain meeting will be February 24th at 6:30 pm at Central Bank on Main.
