Relay for Life
 
Thank you to those who have signed up to join the team, or have donated money to help the Club get closer to our team goal of raising $3000 for the American Cancer Society!  There’s still time to sign up, volunteer, or donate!  We’re still looking for a lot of team members to take turns walking the track, and for volunteer(s) to help with the pizza delivery for our on-site fundraiser.
 
The Fort Myers Relay for Life takes place on April 23rd, at the Lee County Sports Complex.  There are three ways you can help the Paradise Club in our fight against cancer.  1) Join our team by clicking on the link below, sign up, and help raise money.  2) Volunteer.  If you don’t think you’ll be able to join the team, or aren’t able to donate money, there are a number of tasks that we could use help with such as: pizza delivery; transporting pizzas from Ron Dao’s to Relay, or helping sell pizzas for our on-site fund raiser.  3) Donate.  If you can’t join the team or volunteer, consider donating to one of the team members, or just to the Paradise team in general.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our Team Captain, Greg Maaske at gregmaaske@yahoo.com or 319-321-8820. 
Here is the link to our team website where you can sign up to join the team and/or make a donation.  PARADISE RELAY TEAM PAGE
