Relay for Life

YP Fayette and the Fayette Chamber formed a team at the 2010 Relay for Life, which benefits The American Cancer Society. Our team raised $4,139 with online donations and through fundraisers at the event! Our site was transformed into the "Powder Puff Parlor", with two massage therapists, a professional makeup artist, and a BeautiControl consultant doing hand treatments! We also sold pink lemonade and had a drawing for a Wii and Wii Fit bundle, a gorgeous gift basket donated by Flying Change, and an Atlanta Falcons hat signed by Jamal Anderson! Also, we'd like to thank Operation Boot Camp for their support!! Their fundraiser to benefit our team raised over $500!! Overall, the event had over 1,800 participants and has raised $390,000 to date! YP Fayette was honored to be part of such an amazing event and can't wait for next year!
