COVID-19 pushes cancer activists to create new fundraiser
Last year’s Relay For Life has been transformed into a Luminaria Lights of Hope & Love Evening by volunteers working to raise money for the American Cancer Society – Cancer Action Network).
Due to changes caused by COVID-19, the 2020 version of the Relay For Life will be held Sept. 12 from 8 pm-9:30 pm with the luminarias for the relay set up on the 400 block of Logan (in the space of the former Roosevelt Elementary School).
People can drive by and purchase a bag from their car or make a donation.
Last year, on June 19 the Relay For Life 20th Anniversary was celebrated at Courthouse Square, under the banner, “We’re going wild for a cure.” It also featured a luminaria ceremony.
This year supporters can buy a $5 luminaria for the Relay, or for $10 they can become ASC/CAN members.
The Lights of Hope bags will be on display with the Luminaria bags.
