Friends, neighbors, cancer survivors and caregivers are coming
together for an evening of fun, food and learning more about this
year's event. The focus is "Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back." Anyone
interested in signing up a team, getting involved with planning or
learning more about Relay For Life is encouraged to attend. This
energizing kickoff event begins at 5:30 p.m. at Lincoln College

Lincoln.
Appetizers are being provided by Warren Wendlandt. Guests will be
treated to refreshments and have an opportunity to win a number of

Relay For Life
is an overnight event where teams of local businesses, schools,
churches, community groups and families raise funds -- prior to and
at the event -- to fight cancer. This year's American Cancer Society
Relay For Life of Logan County is being planned for May in Lincoln.
