*Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Meets Relay For Life*
*Host a Watch Party with your family, friends & Relay Team!*
* *
In thousands of communities across the nation, Relay For Life is the event
of the year… On *November 12th*, the eyes of more than 22 million Americans
will be on one very special Relay For Life event in southern Indiana, and
you're invited to join the fun!
The cast and crew of ABC's popular reality series *Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition*, recently returned from a week in St. Meinrad, Indiana, where they
rebuilt the home of Shawna Farina, a young cancer survivor who is passionate
about Relay For Life. During the course of the home build, 18 communities
came together to host a five-day Relay For Life event that highlighted the
efforts of the American Cancer Society in the community, and served as a
backdrop to construction.
Join hundreds of communities and thousands of teams who will host Relay
"Watch Parties" to see the Power of Purple shared with millions of viewers.
ABC's popular reality TV show, *Extreme **Makeover: Home Edition*, visited St.
Meinrad, Indiana, to build a home for Shawna Farina, cancer survivor,
longtime Relay For Life volunteer, and Celebration on the Hill Ambassador.
Because the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life are such major forces
in Ms. Farina's life, the producers of the show asked the Society for help
in telling her story. As a result, Great Lakes Division volunteers and staff
joined with the Relay For Life Business Unit to coordinate an event called
"Extreme Relay For Life in Spencer County." Over the course of a five-day
home build, volunteers from 18 different Relay For Life events across southern
Indiana conducted five consecutive 24-hour long Relays. Over 5,000 people
took part in the event, even though the population of St. Meinrad is
approximately 800 people.
The décor in Ms. Farina's new home features Relay For Life commemorative
items, and the cast and crew of the show participated in the event by
walking laps between building projects.
