The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Lake Orion will be held May 20-21 at Waldon Middle School.
This year’s theme is ‘Lake Orion Goes Hollywood.? As always, one of the highlights of the event will be the Survivors? Victory Lap.
In the evening, there will be a Luminaria Ceremony, with white bags with some sand and a candle placed around the track.
Each one is dedicated in honor of a cancer survivor, or in memory of someone who passed away from cancer.
Participation in the event, which is a 24-hour relay, can be done by sponsorship, either corporate or in-kind, or by rallying a team together.
Volunteers are also needed for the planning committee.
You can also make a donation, or help a team fund raise. Volunteers are also needed to help set up the day of the event.
Planning for the event has already kicked off.
The next meeting for team captains is March 16, 7-8 p.m.
Other team captain meetings leading up to the event are April 6, 7-8 p.m., and May 4, 7-8 p.m.
Bank Night will be May 17 at Oxford Bank.
