7 One of the easy ways to fundraise is to share the opportunity with others to Dedicate A Luminaria In honor or in memory of someone who has battled cancer One of the most memorable moments of each Relay is walking the track that is lined with honor, love and memories. We should all set a goal to give everyone an opportunity to dedicate a Luminaria to be placed on the track for that special time. Things to consider: Let s make sure the track is lined with Honor, love and memories Many people are unaware what a Luminaria is. Having a decorated bag available will help when explaining the dedication is in honor OR in memory Have your team decorate a few bags ahead of time Keep pre-decorated bags on hand for those who would like to choose a decorated Luminaria Have a Luminaria table at your fundraising events. Have stickers, markers, sharpies, etc on hand for decorating Send out s! Luminaria can also be dedicated through your online fundraising site as well. Need Luminaria bags/slips?
