Relay for Life Clyde picks location and 2009 date

Wayne County will be hosting two American Cancer Society Relay For Life events next year.

On Monday, the Clyde Planning Committee came to a decision to have the event at Lauraville Landing Park on July 17. Mayor Kise suggested Lauraville Landing.

Relay For Life is a unique volunteer-driven, community event that allows participants from all walks of life including cancer survivors, families, friends, corporations, civic organizations, schools, religious groups and concerned community members to join together in the fight against cancer. Relay For Life is an overnight celebration where individuals and teams camp out, barbecue, dance, and take turns walking or running around a track relay style.

At nightfall, participants light thousands of luminaria candles around the track in a touching ceremony honoring cancer survivors as well as paying tribute to those lost to the disease.

Relay For Life in Palmyra, will be held at the County Fairgrounds on June 5. To find out how to form a Relay For Life team or to volunteer for either event, please call the American Cancer Society at 800.ACS.2345.
