RFL of Greater Shelby Township April 1, 2024
It’s no joke, we are looking for a Recipe for a Cure at Relay for Life of Greater Shelby Township. We are also whipping up a big batch of fun so join us Saturday May 18 11am – 11pm at River Bends Park located at 5700 22 Mile Rd, Shelby Township, MI 48317. We have a recipe to fund a cure, but we need you!
Recipe of the Week: My family loves a good no bake cookie and this recipe is their favorite. Find the recipe here
Portillo’s Fundraiser this Thursday!
This is it! This Thursday April 4th from 11:00 am to 8 pm at Portillo’s at 14425 Lakeside Circle Sterling Heights is our Event Kick Off and Relay fundraiser. 20% of money raised will go to our event including dining in, drive thru, and curbside pick-up (details on flyer). You must have a copy of the flyer (either paper or on your phone) or mention that you are with Relay for Life of Greater Shelby Township for our Relay to get credit for the sale. Get a copy of the flyer here, and tell all your friends about it! You’re going to have lunch and dinner so you might as well fight cancer too! We are hoping to see how many of the ELT can join together at 6:00 to dine as a group if possible.
May 18th Fun
It has been confirmed that Detroit Panzeratti Company will be joining us again along with Sucree – the loaded milkshake truck. Also the Shelby Township Fire Department will be there with their Smoke House safety demo! Next issue we’ll give a more complete list of the fun and entertainment planned for our event!
