We invite everyone to participate in the relay to increase awareness of cancer in the community and raise much needed funds to fight the disease. At Relay For Life, teams of friends, neighbors, families, and coworkers commit to keeping at least one member walking the track at all times?because cancer never sleeps. Please join other survivors in the inspirational Survivors Lap that officially begins our annual Relay For Life. For many, the experience of gathering together with other survivors is powerful and moving. Your family and friends are invited to join you during this celebration as well. The walking event will feature a DJ as well as live music and booths offering a variety of refreshments. A luminary Ceremony of Hope will be held at 9:00 Friday night. When the sun sets luminaria are lit, and a moment of silence falls during the Ceremony of Hope. During the ceremony everyone gathers to remember those lost to cancer, support those fighting cancer, and rejoice with those who have fought the disease and won.
