Dedicated to Empowering and Informing the Burlingame Community

Relay for Life is scheduled for October 7 – 8 from 11:00 am at Burlingame High School.

One of the very special parts of this event is the Luminaria Ceremony. When the sun goes down, hundreds of luminarias light the way under the stars and a moment of silence falls during the ceremony of hope. Luminarias are glowing bags that on first glance appear to be nothing more than paper sacks filled with sand and candles. But upon closer examination, these bags represent people, each with a name and a story to tell. When the sun goes down, hundreds of luminarias light the way under the stars. The suggested donation is $10 per luminaria.

If you would like to order a luminaria for a friend or loved one, please go to the website.
