American Cancer Society – Global Luminaria Volunteer Project
The American Cancer Society works across the globe to prevent cancer, diminish suffering, shape the global policy agenda, and catalyze a local response with cancer organizations around the world, giving them a platform to increase their visibility and generate cancer awareness within their country.
Check out the 32 countries where ACS' Global Relay For Life brings people together honor those affected by cancer and lights up the dark by displaying Luminaria bags that are decorated in remembrance of patients, survivors, and those we have lost. Help light up the globe by designing a Luminaria bag, selecting one of Global Relay For Life events, and log your volunteer hours to support ACS' global work.
Use this form to upload a design and dedicate a Luminaria bag to a loved one or a co-worker who has lost their battle to cancer, in honor of those who won and those who are still fighting the disease. Your personally decorated Luminaria bag will be displayed at a Relay For Life event in the country you select.
Please log your volunteer hours through Microsoft's GIVE program by searching for the American Cancer Society, Inc. and selecting the project Light Up the Globe: Honor Every Life Touched by Cancer.

In Memory Of Dwight Miles
Daddy, You were our hero in our childhood and will forever be in our older years as well. Every time we think of you our little hearts fill up with pride. Though we will always miss you Daddy, you’ll forever be by our side. In laughter and in sorrow, through sunshine and rain, we know you’re watching over us until we meet again. Missing you today and always. We love you more than words can say. Our world lost someone extremely special on the day you went away. Love and miss you Dwight

In Memory Of my friend Nick
Every time I am sweeping, I remember the story you shared of the man who was employed to sweep. In that compound there was one tall tree that shed leaves. So, one day, the man decided to cut it to solve his problem. When the employer came back, he was so furious and sacked him. The man had cut the tree that was the source of his employment. Through this story, you helped me appreciate everything in life and understand there is always a reason for everything. I will always miss you.
