Bastrop County Relay For Life 2005 - Page 1 The purpose of the Relay for Life is to celebrate survivorship. It is a team event to fight cancer! This year it was held May 13 and 14 at Bastrop High School's Erhard Field. This is the 8th annual celebration and remembrance. This event is made up entirely of volunteers and benefits the American Cancer Society and the Bastrop unit. There is walking, running, camping out, games, and entertainment-but mostly it is to honor the survivors of cancer and remember those who have lost their fight with cancer. Money raised goes to cancer research. This year’s preliminary grand total of money raised was $128,325. Relay for Life co-chairs for 2005 were Betty Rucker and Putzie Martin.
