Logan County Relay brunch Sunday

[May 17, 2013]  The Logan County Relay For Life brunch will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday at Lincoln College.

The cost of $8 for adults and $4 for children under 12 will benefit the $1 million goal of this county before the end of this year's event June 14-15. Tickets are available from Relay For Life leaders or can be obtained at the door the day of the brunch.

This is also the 100th anniversary of the American Cancer Society's effort to save lives and create more birthdays through funds from this event and others, enabling research for a cure.

On Saturday, the Logan County Relay For Life teams will sell $10 luminaria bags at Lincoln IGA from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

On Wednesday, these luminaria will draw attention to the 100th anniversary as all of those purchased will be placed on the front porch of each participating home and lit at sundown to show support in helping to stamp out this disease. In 1913, when the American Cancer Society began, the word cancer was not spoken and almost all patients were lost to this dreadful disease.
