Century’s Relay for Life officially got underway Tuesday night with a kickoff meeting for team captains.

“Welcome to the beginning of the official start of the relay season”, Paula Jernigan told the team captains.

Team captains and members from Byrneville Elementary School, Century Library, Century Correctional Institute, Carver/Century K-8, Critter Caregivers, Ray’s Chapel Baptist Church and NorthEscambia.com turned out for Tuesday night’s meeting, which included sandwiches provided by Subway of Flomaton, door prizes and team awards.

Century Correctional Institute was awarded Most Faithful Team and received 10,000 spirit points. They also received the Purple Pig for turning in the most money at Tuesday night’s meeting. The Purple Pig, which is a purple piggy bank, must now be filled with money raised for Relay for Life and turned in at the next meeting.  Century Library was awarded Most Members in Attendance, with a total of nine team members present.

Paula Jernigan said she would love to see Century reach their goal of twenty Relay teams. “Churches, business, families…anyone can be a team.”

Century Relay for Life will be held Saturday, April 25th from noon until sunrise on Sunday April 26th.
