Relay helps to save lives by having at least one member of their team on the track at all times. This year locally, there was a great turn out with 16 teams (made up of 147 participants) taking part in Yorkton’s Relay. The evening started off with a reception for the 30 plus survivors and their guests. Shortly after 7:00 p.m. these Survivors took to the track for the Survivor’s Victory Lap to officially open this year’s Relay For Life. They were soon joined by all the teams, as well as friends and family members who came out to be part of this night of celebrating, remembering and fighting back. The Luminary Ceremony took place shortly after 10:00 p.m. This is when participants light candles that are places in white bags, each baring the name of someone who has beaten cancer, someone who is currently fighting or someone who has lost the battle. These luminaries light the track as the participants continue to walk throughout the night. Continued on Page 3.

Golfing for good
– annual event another success
Yorkton’s 4th annual Relay For Life event took place in the city last Friday and while it may be a local happening, it’s also part of a much larger global movement that unites people with a common goal. In 2013, over four million people participated in 6,200 Relay For Life events in over 20 countries. To date, the Relay For Life movement has raised over $4 billion in the global fight for life, the fight against cancer Relay For Life is an inspirational, non-competitive, 12-hour overnight fundraising event that brings people together to celebrate life, to honour and remember loved ones and to unite in the fight for life. Across the country the Relay For Life event has a festival-like atmosphere that family, friends and co-workers can get together to enjoy – regardless of age or fitness level. Teams of 10-15 people fundraise individually and as a team to help the Canadian Cancer Society save lives and support those who are facing cancer. Participants show their support at the event

The Parkland College has announced that the ninth annual Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic raised an estimated $33,600 for the Parkland College scholarship fund. It is the most successful Dollars for Scholars in Parkland College history. The golf tournament was held June 20 at Deer Park Golf Course in Yorkton. A few rain showers throughout the day did little to dampen the spirits of 138 golfers, who continue to call this event one of the most enjoyable in the region. “As word gets around, people are eagerly throwing their support behind this event,” says tournament co-chair Brendan Wagner. “It is a true community effort and we couldn’t do it without the support of hundreds of individuals and businesses across Saskatchewan.” This is the sixth straight year that a new record for the event has been set. Last year’s Dollars for Scholars raised just over $28,000. The Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic is the college’s largest scholarship fundraiser. Proceeds from the event have helped Parkland College award well over $100,000 in scholarships in each of the last three academic years. “Our students are grateful to have access to these scholarships,” Wagner says. “And every time we set a new record like this, more students will benefit.” The Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic is made possible by generous contributions from hundreds of community supporters, volunteers, and sponsors. Banquet sponsor R H Electric, Platinum sponsors Farrell Agencies, Logan Stevens Construction, MHPM Project Leaders, SaskTel, and RBC Financial Group, and media partners GX94 and Fox FM played key roles in the success of the tournament. The college also thanks the 22 Gold Sponsors, 33 Silver sponsors, 157 Bronze sponsors, and three hole-in-one sponsors for their donations of cash and prizes. The event sold out in May; golfers supported the scholarship fund with their entry fees. The 10th annual Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic is tentatively scheduled for June 19, 2015.
