Live Entertainment Featured At LaGrange County Relay For Life
The tenth annual LaGrange County Relay for Life
will be held June 25 to 26 from 9 am to 9 am at Prairie
Heights High School. The event will feature a variety
of free live entertainment this year in addition to the
hourly regularly-scheduled activities. Traditionally, at
a Relay for Life, there are different activities for relay
participants each hour for the entire 24 hours of the
event. This year’s theme is Birthday Party, and most
hours are themed around specific birthdays. The
Opening Ceremonies will take place at 9 am on June
25 followed by the Survivor and Caregiver laps and
Survivor Breakfast. In addition to the hourly activities,
live music will be provided by four different artists on
Saturday, June 25.
On Saturday afternoon, the Matt & Jason Band
from Eden Worship Center in Topeka will be
performing their Contemporary Christian songs. From
Cornerstone Baptist Church in Shipshewana, Psalm 150
will take the stage with their Contemporary Country
Christian selections, also on Saturday afternoon. At 6
pm, Andrew Bartlett and the Mongo United Methodist
Church Praise Band will entertain the Relay audience
and participants. The Luminaria Ceremony will begin
at 10 pm with the Luminaria displays lining the track
in honor and memory of those diagnosed with cancer.
After the Luminaria Ceremony, Andy Scheidler will get
the overnight walking started with his upbeat techno
music variety.
Closing ceremonies will take place at 9 am on
Sunday, June 26. Additional activities, including the
hourly schedule, can be viewed on the event website,
www.relayforlife.org/lagrangecountyin, on the Day
of Event Details page. While the Relay for Life is a
fundraiser for American Cancer Society, there is no
charge to attend the event and enjoy the activities,
including the live music. All community members are
encouraged to stop by.
There is also still time to form or join a team by
going to the event website. Teams have a member on
the track “relaying” for the entire 24 hours to celebrate
cancer survivors, remember those affected by cancer,
and fight back against this disease. In LaGrange
County, the American Cancer Society estimates 122
will be diagnosed with cancer in 2011, and much of
the money raised by the LaGrange County Relay for
Life goes to help those locally. For more information
