Relay For Life of Saline County Proclamation
WHEREAS, the Relay For Life movement continues to be the largest peer-to-peer fundraising event
with 2.5 million participants globally uniting to save lives from cancer; and
WHEREAS, Relay For Life of Saline County is an opportunity to celebrate people who have been
touched by cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action for lifesaving change; and
WHEREAS, funds raised at Relay For Life events help the ACS fund conduct breakthrough research,
and give cancer patients and their families the resources they need, like free rides to chemo, free
places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline for answers and support; and
WHEREAS, during the month of June, we celebrate the nearly 17 million Americans who have
bravely and successfully battled cancer, to earn the designation SURVIVOR. To honor those
survivors, June is designated as National Cancer Survivors Month and Monday, June 6, 2022 is
National Survivor Day.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that I, Trent W. Davis, M.D., Mayor, of Salina, Kansas, do
hereby proclaim June 4, 2022, as,
"RELAY FOR LIFE DAY"
in Salina, Kansas and encourage citizens to let their passion inspire them to join the Relay For Life
movement by attending the Relay, starting or joining a fundraising team, making a donation, or
volunteering with the Relay For Life event at Kansas Wesleyan University on Saturday, June 4, 2022.
