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.
