Relay For Life is the Society’s signature event, dedicated to increasing awareness and raising funds to fight cancer. Teams of family, friends, churches, businesses, schools, co-workers etc. camp out overnight, taking turns walking the track. During the event, participants and vistors will have a chance to: celebrate the victory of area cancer survivors during the Survivors Lap at 10:00 am; remember those we have lost to the disease during the poignant Luminaria Ceremony at dusk; and participate in the Fight Back Ceremony, that gives everyone a chance to proclaim their way of taking action against the disease.
The 2012 Relay For Life New Baltimore will take place on May 12-13 at Anchor Bay Middle School North. For more information on how you can get involved or about the kickoff event, contact Beth Schulmeister at 248.663.3421, elizabeth.schulmeister@cancer.org or
