Relay 4 Life
Join us Saturday June 4th at Muirlands Middle School for the Relay for Life, an inspirational event to celebrate cancer survivors, care givers and raise funds in the fight against cancer. The Relay takes place over 24 hours, not a race, but a symbol of the supreme effort it takes to battle cancer.
The American Cancer Society Relay for Life movement symbolizes hope and our shared goal to end a disease that threatens the lives of so many people we love. If cancer has touched your life, participating in a Relay for Life event is a way to take action and help finish the fight. This is your opportunity to honor cancer survivors, remember those you have lost, and raise funds and awareness to fight back and help end cancer forever.
Volunteers are needed to fill out the team "Steve Wutzke and Friends", those interested please contact Jim Wegerbauer. To learn more about Relay for Life, join the team, or simply donate to a great cause, click here.
