Relay for Life of Greene County will again have a logo of its own, distinctively different from the American Cancer Society’s Relay logo, thanks to American Athletic | Spalding’s senior graphic designer John Sigler. His 2015 design, the third in a series, was unveiled at a lunch break event at the Greene County courthouse Tuesday.
About two dozen Relay for Life team members and sponsors, as well as cancer survivors and those who have cared for cancer patients, attended.
Sigler’s 2013 and 2014 designs featured a running figure. His 2015 design, a two color design in purple and orange, shows boot prints and splashed color, connecting the Relay to the Color Out Cancer 5K run/walk that has become part of the Greene County event.
The back of the shirt includes logos of platinum sponsors, the Jefferson Kiwanis Club and American Athletic Inc | Spalding, and gold sponsors, Jefferson Telecom and Raccoon Valley Radio. Also listed are silver sponsors Bauer Built Manufacturing, Fareway Inc, Greene County Community Center, Greene County Medical Center, GreeneCountyNewsOnline, Home State Bank, Hy-Vee Inc, Jefferson Bee & Herald, Peoples Trust & Savings Bank, UnityPoint Clinic, Wells Fargo Bank and Wild Rose Jefferson.
American Athletic | Spalding, along with providing the logo, is providing 300 Relay T-shirts. Additionally, the company is providing the 300 T-shirts that will be screen printed with the 2015 Color Out Cancer logo. That logo, designed by Jen Badger of ShineOn Designs, was also unveiled at the Tuesday event. ShineOn Designs will do the production on the Color Out Cancer shirts. Pictured are (from left) Relay chair Peg Raney, Badger, Kristin Russell of American Athletic | Spalding, and Jefferson park & recreation director Vicky Lautner.

Raney was emcee at the event. She began with a moment of silence for all those who have died of cancer, and then recognized survivors, caregivers, Relay team members and sponsors before unveiling the logos. She noted that 15 teams have registered for this year’s Relay, and that there is room for more teams.
The Relay for Life of Greene County is Saturday, April 25, at the Greene County Community Center in Jefferson. For more information, visit www.relayforlife.org/greenecountyia or the Relay Facebook page. Last year’s event raised $55,500 for the American Cancer Society.
