Relay for Life kickoff takes place on Monday

Relay for Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.

More than 20 years ago, one man took it upon himself to raise money to support the efforts of the American Cancer Society. Today, more than three million Americans participate in Relay events nationwide.

Locally, the Relay for Life Kickoff will be held Monday, with registration taking place at Caney Fork Electric auditorium at 6 p.m. A ?Lights, Camera, Cure!? theme is being used, promising a fun and entertaining night for all attending. An early-bird registration will be offered, with a team registration of $75. New team captains will receive a complimentary Relay tote bag.

June 1-2 is the date set for the Warren County Relay for Life, with a goal set for $140,000. All interested persons are invited to attend the registration party and are encouraged to bring interested friends.

The American Cancer Society is a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy and service.
