As the American Cancer Society celebrates its 25th anniversary of "Relay for Life," the City joins the effort by hosting its first edition of the fund-raiser April 17-18.
The event takes place from 7 pm to 7 am at Taylor Road Middle School, capping a four-month local fund-raising effort going on now to fight cancer and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment.
The community event involves teams of people camping out, sharing their stories of cancer battles and remembering those lost to the disease. They take turns walking, jogging, or running around a track or path as they celebrate, remember and hope.
Last year an estimated $420 million was raised through "Relay for Life" by nearly 5,000 communities around the world. Organizers of the local event hope to raise $75,000.
