Pictures from Relay for Life 2008 - San Clemente

Team Soléo joined the fight to combat cancer by walking in this years Relay for Life 2008. Relay's are held throughout the nation to raise funds for cancer research and to educate on the importance of periodic cancer screenings, eating healthy, exercising regularly, and of course wearing sunscreen - among other topics. This 24 hour event in San Clemente raised over $48,000. There was entertainment including live bands, movies, and a slide show. Food was everywhere and each team had a mission delivery and the opportunity to do some on-site fund raising.
