Join the Relay for Life of Starke County this Saturday to honor cancer survivors and their caregivers and to commemorate loved ones who have passed away.
From noon until midnight, Relayers will gather at the Starke County Fairgrounds in Hamlet to raise awareness while having fun in the process. This year’s theme is “Toonin’ Out Cancer.”
Event organizers have been working very hard to put together tomorrow’s event and it will be chock-full of fun activities for the whole family.
After the opening ceremony, Survivors and Caregivers will kick-off the walk.
Organizer Becky Taylor stated that there will also be games, such as 해외카지노사이트, as well as a silent auction with a variety of items to bid on. Taylor said some of the big-ticket items include a grill and various game tickets for teams such as the Cubs, the Chicago White Sox and the Bears.
Taylor added that the Lion’s Club will be providing food and there will be some vendors on site as well.
In the evening, a luminaria ceremony will be held where Relayers will light up the night. In this powerful demonstration, each light represents a life taken by cancer, a survivor or support for a person still fighting the disease.
According to the event page, the Starke County Relay for Life Teams have collectively gathered about $9,738 for the American Cancer Society, as of Wednesday evening and the number continues to grow. All proceeds raised during the event will also be donated to the organization to help with Cancer research and patient programs.
