Relay For Life comes with some live music this year
The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life takes place this weekend on the Maryville College campus, and with the event is a chance for you to (a) get involved in a worthy cause and (b) see some great live music.
According to the national website, “The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length.”
