Captain Aaron Wright - Relay For Life Captain Aaron Wright is an avid supporter of the Relay For Life foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to treating and curing cancer all around the world. Relay For Life holds many special events to fund raise for their cause, events best described by the website itself, which states: Survivors Lap: “During the Survivors Lap, all cancer survivors at the event take the first lap around the track, celebrating their victory over cancer while cheered on by the other participants who line the track. Relay For Life events also recognize and celebrate caregivers, who give time, love, and support to their friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers facing cancer.” Luminary Event: “The Luminaria Ceremony occurs at every Relay For Life event. As the sun sets, luminaria lining the track light up the night. A hush falls over the crowd that had been overflowing with celebration. Relay For Life participants, survivors, and caregivers then gather to remember loved ones lost to cancer and to honor those whose fight continues. Luminaria bags are transformed and illuminated after dark at every local Relay For Life event. Each luminaria is personalized with a name, photo, message or drawing in memory or honor of a friend or loved one who has been affected by cancer. Luminaria can also be dedicated in support of a Relay participant. Each luminaria candle represents a person. They are our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, friends, coworkers, and so many others. All events offer a classic, white bag. Other luminaria dedication options may include a gold bag and a tribute torch. Once you begin the luminaria donation process, you will see the options available at your event.” Fight Back Ceremony: “This emotionally powerful ceremony inspires Relay participants to take action. The Fight Back Ceremony symbolizes the emotional commitment each of us can make in the fight against cancer. The action taken represents what we are willing to do for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for our community to fight cancer year-round and to commit to saving lives.” Captain Aaron Wright works with the foundation not just because it is a fun and interactive way to battle cancer, but because they have a rich history of success, one best articulated by their own website, which says, “In May 1985, Dr. Gordy Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Washington, ultimately raising $27,000 to help the American Cancer Society fight the nation’s biggest health concern – cancer. A year later, 340 supporters joined the overnight event. Since those first steps, the Relay For Life movement has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, raising nearly $5 billion to fight cancer.” For More Information About Captain Aaron Wright Visit:https://www.crunchbase.com/person/captain%C2%A0aaron%C2%A0-wright
