Relay For Life 2016
We wish to thank our classmates, friends, family and employers for their generous donations and support in this years' Relay For Life. It was held at the new Okie Blanchard Stadium just east of East High School. It was great to be walking the track at our old stomping grounds again!! The theme for this year was "Paint Cheyenne Purple", so we donned our white painters suits and did just that! The awards ceremony at the end of the night was canceled as the Cheyenne skies burst open with a torrential rainstorm, but I believe we took 2nd this year. Much thanks to our chairman, Dee Graeber Patterson, for leading another strong campaign that the Class of 68 can be proud of.

Relay For Life 2013
Relay For Life 2013 is over...but our overall success as a team and as a community topped the charts this year! As a community, we raised over $130,000. Phenomenal!!! Our Class of 68 team again came in first place with our donations exceeding $19,300!!! Again, phenomenal! A huge thank you goes out to all the classmates that so generously supported our efforts. We, as the reunion committee, are proud to represent the Class of 68 in such a worthy cause and we applaud you; our classmates, family and friends because without your support we could not do this. Again, THANK YOU for believing in us and believing that some day during our lifetime we will hear the words "we have found a cure for cancer".

Relay for Life 2012 Yeee...hawwww! You can pat yourselves on the back for a job "well done", or should I say a job "super well done"! The 2012 Relay for Life is now history and believe me, history was made! Your Class of 68 team came in first place this year raising $16,411 and beating the previous #1 team by about $3000. We made history by being the 1st team to raise more than $15,000 in the 19 years that the ACS Relay For Life has been held in Cheyenne. What an honor for the Class of 68! Thank you for your generous donations and support. We couldn't do this without you, our families and our friends. Our efforts and dedication to this cause is so worthwhile; knowing we helped in some way so that others affected by cancer may see themselves or their loved ones enjoy another birthday. Several team members were recognized for raising over $1000 each. All in all, the relay was a huge success with over $121,000 raised.
A special thanks of appreciation goes to Dee Graeber Patterson and her daughter-in-law, Darcy Patterson, for their tremendous leadership and overwhelming dedication to the team and this worthy event. The amount of time and devotion they put into this Relay is truly commendable. |

To all our team mates and classmates of the Class of 68:
The relay is over but not the memories. It was such a joy to have so many classmates support us and even come from Phoenix, Longmont, Ft. Collins, Casper, Denver and of course Ol' Cheyenne to walk with us. For our 1st effort as the Class of 68 Team we didn't do too bad. The national average for money raised per team is $1500. OUR TEAM RAISED $10,759.00. We received 2nd in over all money raised only missing 1st by $325. We also took 2nd in best overall team relay theme. We couldn't have done it without all of you to support us. Darcy and I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts and look forward to the relay next year. Maybe more of you can come walk with us. Our theme for next year is “Movies” so if any of you have any ideas, please send it our way. Thank you so much and God Bless you all Dee and Darcy Patterson |
