The Lincoln Jaycees are participating in the Relay for Life of Logan
County on June 18 in conjunction with the U.S. Jaycees organization,
which is a national partner of Relay for Life. The American Cancer
Society Relay for Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone
in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of
people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and fight
back against the disease. At the event, teams of people camp out at
a local high school, park or fairground and take turns walking or
running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a
representative on the track at all times during the event. Because
cancer never sleeps, Relay for Life events are overnight and up to
24 hours in length.
The Lincoln Jaycees, a not-for-profit organization that serves
Lincoln and the surrounding communities, gives young people between
the ages of 18 and 40 the tools they need to build the bridges of
success for themselves in the areas of business development,
management skills, individual training, community service and
international connections.
The Lincoln Jaycees host various community activities such as an
Easter egg hunt, their Haunted House, Senior Feast, Breakfast with
Santa and Angel Tree.
Membership meetings are the third Thursday of every month, 7
p.m., at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital. Meetings are open to the
public.
