Relay for Life is an event that gives everyone in the LaGrange County area a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. It provides funding to support programs and research of the American Cancer Society. Relay for Life is made up of teams of people that camp out at Lakeland High School and take turns walking around a track. Because cancer never sleeps, the event is twenty-four hours in length. Relay participants do not have to walk all night, but each team is encouraged to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Four events are scheduled for this year’s event; Celebrate – The Survivors Lap, Remember – The Luminaria Ceremony, Fight Back – The Fight Back Ceremony, and Hope – The Closing Ceremony. Each hour during the twenty-four hour period there will be a different activity relating to the theme for this year, “board games.” Live bands will perform, food will be available and plenty of entertainment to keep everyone motivated for the full twenty-four hour period. Businesses interested in helping to sponsor LaGrange County Relay for Life, may contact Melanie at 854-4349 or [email protected]. Any individuals or teams that are interested in participating in the event may call Susanne at 269-503-3810.
