We are Making Our Mark! Our team captain is Angela McGraw, who also happens to be the Event Lead for our Relay event. The McGraw family began attending Relay for Life over a decade ago in 2008 with the support of Angela McGraw Sr., our mom, who was an active member of the Millbridge Militia, a team who represented Delran’s local elementary school where she worked as a teacher’s aid in a special needs classroom.

As time passed and our family evolved, so did our team names and members. It wasn’t until 2013 when our mom was diagnosed with stage IV inflammatory breast cancer that Jackie picked a name that meant something more to us. The name “Making Our Mark” was chosen not only because of the impact we make at Relay, but because it also stands for MOM, something that Angela appreciated and loved. Today our family continues to carry that name in honor of Angela McGraw Sr. who passed away a year after her diagnosis in 2014.

Making Our Mark has been actively participating in Relay for Life events since then and is composed of friends and family who loved, knew, and miss her. While Relaying may not always be easy, we do our best to carry the memories and love of our mom with us each step we take. We also try to carry her sense of humor. You may have noticed a unique team member of ours named Felicity. She is our giraffe mascot that was gifted to Angela at a benefit held in our mom’s honor. Felicity has become one of the most important team members and travels to every fundraiser and Relay with us as a reminder of our mom’s love of all creatures, children, and of life itself.
