Greenfield High School to Host Relay for Life

Relay for Life, an overnight team event where students and community members have the opportunity to honor cancer survivors and remember those who have battled cancer, will take place at from 6 p.m. Saturday Aug. 5 through early the next morning.

The event is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

During the relay, teams of eight to 15 people will camp out at the high school and take turns running or walking around the track. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event to symbolize a cancer patient’s struggle through darkness.

For those not walking, there is action to keep everyone busy. From entertainment, food and games, to touching ceremonies and stories of inspiration, there is something for everyone. The public is invited to participate as well.

To sign up a team of friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, students, staff members, visit the Relay for Life website. Teams that register by June 27 will get a free t-shirt.
