Relay For Life celebrates cancer survivors! Cancer survivors and their Caregivers take the first "victory lap" at opening ceremomnies as we celebrate their survivorship with them. Survivors and Caregivers are also celebrated at a reception/dinner at Relay.
We will pay tribute to all of those we have lost to cancer and honor those who are battling or have battled cancer by an emotional heartfelt Luminaria Ceremony. Personalized luminaria bags with candles will be lighted as a remembereance of those who have fought their battle.
Relay will be hopping with fun activities and entertainment!
