Have you ever heard of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life? Did you know Maumee has their own Relay for Life to support cancer research and cancer education in our community? This is an all night event for the entire family. Walk or run with people in our community, and help raise money for cancer research and education.
The Relay starts with a Survivors' Lap during which cancer survivors and current cancer patients complete one circuit around the track. A Luminaria Ceremony later in the event honors those who succumbed to cancer. Games, music, pep rallies, and other entertainment encourage participants throughout the marathon night, with those not active in the relay at any given time camping out at the event.
Last year, Relay for Life events in Ohio raised more than $16.7 million for cancer research. To learn more about this event, join a team, form your own team, or just make a donation, please call the American Cancer Society: 888-227-6446, ext. 5211 or by email at Erin.Matheson@cancer.org or call Charlie Carr: 419-867-8188.
