Community Calendar

Relay for Life is a free community event to celebrate cancer survivors, remember those we've lost, and fight back against cancer. There will be games going on all day, a fire truck pull (2-4 PM), "track" or treat (3-5 PM), our survivor and caregiver ceremony and dinner at 6 PM, and both live music and a DJ throughout the day. There are a lot of other things happening, so join us!

If you are a current cancer patient or a survivor, let us celebrate you! Register here to get a free shirt and join us for dinner at the event: tinyurl.com/2023Survivor
