Registration Superstars!
We love teams who make the commitment to Relay early... and by early we mean at our event wrap-up party. We refer to these teams as our Registration Superstars and allow them the special privilege of early set-up on Relay day.
Wondering if your team is a Registration Superstar? Check the list! If you are on it, we will see you at noon, on Friday, June 8th. If you aren't, you can change that for next year by making the commitment to Relay with us in 2013 by paying your registration fee at our 2012 event wrap-up.

Tacoma Gives Back
We are giving back to our community in more than one way this year. We are saying goodbye to sand at Luminaria and helping families in need in our community. That’s right, we have partnered with local area food networks to donate canned goods and will use them to weight our luminaria at this year’s event prior to making a donation on June 9th. Our goal is to create the largest Luminaria to date with 5,000 luminaria and 5,000 cans of food. That would equal more than 4,500 pounds of food to feed hundreds of families in our community. Are you in? Make the pledge today. It’s simple:
To ensure we have enough cans to pack the track and meet our goal you can donate one can for every luminaria you and your team place at the track We will be accepting donations at upcoming workshops, meetings and the event this year
Questions? Luminaria@tacomarelay.org)

Thank you SUPERVALU!
SUPERVALU, one of our generous sponsors,
has donated 2,500 cans of food. Thank you
SUPERVALU for helping us give back to a
community that has given us so much support.
Okay Relayers, lets get busy making Luminarias for the canned food to go in.
