BYESVILLE -- Sneakers, sleeping bags and cancer education? It must be the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life, an 18 to 24-hour event to celebrate survivorship and raise funds for cancer research, education, advocacy and services.
Relay For Life will be June 19-20 at the Meadowbrook High School track.
The Relay For Life brings together teams from local businesses, schools, churches and families for camaraderie, food, music and entertainment, and a night under the stars -- all while team members take turns walking or running on a track.
"Relay For Life brings communities together," said Relay Co-chair Becky Wheeler. "We honor each person who has been touched by this disease while raising money for much needed cancer research, education, advocacy and service."
"In Guernsey County, our goal is to raise $90,000 this year for the American Cancer Society. We're grateful to the people and the businesses helping us to achieve that goal," said Wheeler.
Sponsors of the event include: Gold Sponsor- Southeastern Med; Silver Sponsor-Northside Storage; Bronze Sponsor- Stoney's RV Sales; Copper Sponsor-Colgate Palmolive, Genesis Healthcare Systems, Shimp-Bowers, Inc (dba Wendy's), Darcy Wakefield, & Board of Realtors.
