Relay for Life kicks off tomorrow

The annual Relay for Life kickoff meeting will be held tomorrow at Caney Fork Electric auditorium beginning at 6 p.m. according to Relay officials.

A ‘Relay Around the World Until We Find A Cure’ theme is being used presenting a myriad of possibilities for team sites. Teams are encouraged to utilize the theme by focusing on a location ‘ a city, state, country or even a street, would be acceptable.

‘We had a great year last year, raising over $122,000,’ said event chair Dwight Burch. ‘We are working toward a bigger and better event this year, and encourage teams to start their fundraising now.’

Previous team captains, or interested parties are invited to attend the kickoff to register their teams and to pick up team packets. Registration fee for a team of ten members and a reserved site is $100. An additional charge of $10 per person is required for more members.

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.

June 6-7 is the date set for the Warren County Relay for Life, with a goal set for $135,000. Activities will be held at Warren County Middle School. All interested persons are invited to attend the registration party and are encouraged to bring interested friends.
