Young Professionals Network Relay for Life Team




As many of you may know, the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life is an annual, nationwide event, which brings communities together in support of the fight against cancer. This year, Team YPN is participating in Lakewood ’s Relay for Life!

If you know someone who has been affected by cancer, battled with it personally or lost a loved one to this disease, this is your chance to show your support and Relay! Team YPN has pledged $1,500 toward this cause, and we must meet or exceed our goal by June 6th!

Lakewood ’s Relay for Life will take place at Harry Lang Stadium adjacent to Clover Park High School from June 6th at 6:00 pm until June 7th at 12:00 noon! We will walk through the night, with team members alternating laps on the track for short intervals.

Team YPN will have a tent on the grounds, and while you aren’t walking, there will be plenty of opportunities to eat, socialize with other professionals, and enjoy live entertainment all night long. While we want everyone involved, the maximum size for a team is 15 people, therefore participation will be on a first come, first serve basis.

YPN EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER for REBUILDING TOGETHER




Many of you give back every day through acts of kindness. All of us are fortunate to have a roof over our heads and a place we call home.Young Professionals Network is asking you to take a few hours out of your day on April 26th to make one family's day. We will be helping paint, do yard work, and fix up a family's home. This family has had a hard time finding help and through the program Rebuilding Together has asked for us to pitch in. No skills necessary! Just a positive attitude and an open heart. Bring a friend or two!This is also a great time to get to know all of the wonderful Young Professionals of Tacoma-Pierce County. We have a great group and always seem to have a great time!

You have two options:

1. Meet the group for breakfast at 8:00 at the Harmon (1938 Pacific Ave)
2. Meet the group for coffee at 8:45am...you can go next door and get a coffee to go
3. Then drive to the house (Buckley Area). We can carpool if you want! It is about a 40 minute drive. I am hoping we can get there around 10.
4. Here is what is so great! You can stay as little or as long as you want!
1, 2, 3, or 4 hours...whatever you can give will be gratefully accepted by this wonderful family!
