Everyone present takes a few laps to start the relay
Once a year local American Cancer Society groups put on a Relay for Life to raise money and awareness for the ACS. This is my second year to photograph at the Hutto Relay. The effort was hampered, but only a little, by the threatening weather that evening, but the Triple Crown Event Center came to the rescue and allowed the event to move indoors at the very last minute. I think that was a huge blessing the Relay overall; no one had to slog wet and cold through the night around the track. I was there for the kickoff and through the Luminaria portion of the event and was encouraged as usual by the dedication and outpouring of support the community gives. The Hutto High School cheerleaders were there passing out cupcakes to the relay teams as well as cheering them on, the mayor of Hutto came to speak and to walk the track for a while and lots of kids played and had a great time.
Here are a few images from the evening.
