Rally launches Relay for Life campaign

Posted
The American Cancer Society will launch its annual Waupaca Relay for Life with a rally at 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 21, at the Waupaca Ale House.



The rally will provide information about Relay For Life, joining or forming a team, sponsorship and volunteer opportunities. This is also an opportunity to register a team for the event set for July 22-23 at Swan Park in Waupaca.



Relay For Life mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and provide participants with an opportunity to fight back against the disease.



Relay For Life began in 1985 with one man who walked and ran around a track for 24 hours and raised $27,000 for the American Cancer Society. This year, Relay For Life will take place in nearly 5,100 communities and will funds to support the Society's mission of saving lives through research and support.
