It’s Relay Season
April 6, 2010
It’s Relay for Life season in the North Escambia area.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are usually overnight events.
Teams are made up of businesses, churches, friends and families working together to raise money for, and awareness of, cancer research.
Relay offers great family fun for those not directly participating on a team — with tent campsites offering lots of food for sale, arts, crafts, fun and games.
Relay for Life events are scheduled as follows in the North Escambia area:
- UWF — April 9, University of West Florida, 6 p.m.
- Jay — April 16, Jay High School, Alabama Street, 6 p.m.
- Atmore — April 24, Tom Byrne Park, noon (following parade)
- Century — April 24, Kayo Stanton Stadium, old Century High School, noon.
