The event begins at 11 a.m. on the PSC outdoor track and will end at 10 p.m. in the same place.
A reception honoring all survivors and their caregivers will precede opening ceremonies. The survivor ceremony begins at 11 a.m. and the luncheon begins at 11:30 a.m. under the main tent.
Relay For Life opens as cancer survivors of all ages walk around the track for the first lap. A festive atmosphere develops as teams join the American Cancer Society’s efforts to help people get well, stay well, fight back and find cures.
Highlighting the evening is the 8:30 p.m. luminaria service, a candlelight vigil held at nightfall to honor survivors and to remember those lost to cancer.
“Relay For Life is a great opportunity to come together and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays,” said Rocky Leber, event lead for Milton-Pace Relay For Life. “It provides us with a way to celebrate and honor cancer survivors, remember those lost to the disease and fight back with the shared belief that cancer will be one day be eliminated.”
