Pete's Patriots - Gwinnett GOP Relay for Life Team - Update

A beautiful way to honor or remember someone is with a personalized Luminaria Bag ($10) or Torch ($50). These bags and torches line the Relay lap and are lit up by candlelight all night - making an amazing statement of hope. (Torches are yours to keep after the event.) It's an incredible sight and beautiful display of love.

 

Members of Pete's Patriots will be on hand at the March 1st Breakfast with bags and torch tags you can decorate (or we will do it for you) in honor of your special someone. If you can't make the March breakfast but still wish to purchase a Luminaria, contact Pete's Patriot Team Leaders Mary Adamski and Debbie Whelchel at gopcares@gwinnettrepublicans.com.
