Greetings, RFL Arauthators and Champions of the MGA!

To all whose lives have been touched by cancer, we extend this heartfelt invitation to join us in celebrating the Magic of Hope.

This year, as part of our continued commitment to the fight against cancer, we are once again raising funds to support this vital cause. We’re proud to feature a breathtaking display, lovingly crafted by Ravens Landscaping, a creation of our very own MGA members from Tir na Nog ; Crown Prince Airgead, Captain of the Wyld Hunt Aodhan, and Grace Evie.

We warmly invite you to come experience it—step into a space where hope blossoms, hearts unite, and the magic of community shines bright.

2025 Luminaria Dedications
For the next two weeks, we invite all Relayers to submit a Luminaria Dedication—a personal message honoring or remembering loved ones whose lives have been touched by cancer.

During Relay For Life, at 9 PM SLT, we will dim the lights and pause our walk in solemn unity. In that quiet hour, your heartfelt tributes will be read aloud, each message a flicker of memory and love, shining brightly in the darkness.

Let your words light the way. Join us in this powerful moment of remembrance, hope, and honor.

Submit your messages by Friday, June 6 here: https://tinyurl.com/25rflslluminaria
(Long messages may be edited so that we can include as many as possible)
