Cancer survivors, volunteers, and community members will gather to kick off the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Lawrence County.

The open house will highlight ways the society fights back against cancer and will honor cancer survivors and caregivers. It will be an opportunity for people to learn how to get involved and register teams to participate in the upcoming event on May 16 at South Point High School from noon-midnight.

Please join us in celebrating the 30-year anniversary of Relay For Life.

The open house will be from 4-8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 27, at Ohio University Southern Proctorville Center.

The Relay For Life movement unites communities across the globe to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and take action to finish the fight once and for all. Relay For Life events are community-based events where teams and individuals camp out at a school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path.

Each team has at least one participant on the track at all times and participates in fundraising in the months leading up to the event.

Funds raised through Relay For Life events support the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving mission.
