Cancer Society gets ready for relay
The American Cancer Society kicks off its annual Relay For Life of South Snohomish County celebration at 6 p.m. Jan. 10 in the commons at Lynnwood High School, 3001 184th St. SW, Lynnwood. The evening will feature inspirational speeches by survivors, information on the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, food and prizes.
Founded 20 years ago by Dr. Gordy Klatt of Tacoma, the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life has grown to be the most recognized fundraising event for cancer nationwide, held in 4,200 communities and raising more than $1 billion toward cancer research, advocacy, education and patient services.
Relay For Life is a family-oriented event in which teams walk, run or stroll in shifts around a track for 24 hours. Participants traditionally camp out around the track and when they are not taking their turn, enjoy food and entertainment. After dark, a ceremony begins in honor of those who are surviving or battling cancer and in memory of those who have lost their battle.
The annual Relay For Life of South Snohomish County is set for May 19 at Lynnwood High School. For more information, call 425-322-1123 or go to www.cancer.org.
