Relay For Life involves teams of 10 or more persons taking turns

cancer.

Teams camp around the track and participate in a variety of activities
while waiting their turn to relay. From karaoke and socaerobics, to
lots of fun
during the Purple Party, we have something for all.
The Healing:
Relay For Life is a Celebration of Cancer Survivorship. For the cancer survivor it provides an opportunity to see old friends, meet new
ones and share experiences.
The first lap of the Relay, on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. is led by cancer
survivors. Later, at 10:00 p.m. the Luminaria Ceremony is held to
remember those who have lost the battle.
