Club Chivalry for Successful Students, the Robinson High School club sponsored by Tampa Lodge, formed a team to participate in the American Cancer Society’s upcoming Relay 4 Life, which will take place on the Robinson football field April 22. Like many fundraising relays, the students must look for sponsors; each student on the team is tasked with raising $100. This will earn them a T-shirt and the privilege of staying past 11 p.m. At the Feb. 14 club meeting, the students decorated luminaria for lodge members to purchase for $10 each. The money goes to the American Cancer Society but the student gets the credit. Most people purchase a luminaria to honor somebody who has had cancer. The bags are lit at sunset and remain lit throughout the night to signify the long battle against cancer. There is a special dinner for survivors preceding the relay.
