  • Hold a Main Street contest for the Best Purple Window display.
  • Encourage businesses and stores to sell and proudly display Relay For Life “Sun and Moon” cards.
  • Display a Relay For Life yard sign in your front yard.
  • Decorate your front entrance, your fence, or your door with purple balloons.
  • Paint your porch light purple or insert a purple bulb.
  • Tie purple ribbons around trees in your neighborhood.
  • Wear your favorite Relay Gear or any purple clothing.
  • Turn your town landmarks purple. (You can work with municipal officials to light buildings, statues, etc. with purple lights)
  • Create a mock Relay For Life campsite in your town square and use as a basis to solicit media coverage.
  • Decorate the exterior of your City Hall with purple.
  • Ask your town mayor to proclaim an official Relay For Life kick-off day in your community. Relay For Life Proclamation
