This year’s theme is “Relay Back in Time” and each team will represent a different time period. The Relay is a wonderful opportunity to go back in time with our teams in theme, dress, and camp site décor while contributing to the all important mission of the American Cancer Society. Funds raised through Relay For Life are enabling the American Cancer Society to impact the lives of those touched by cancer within our community.
