American Cancer Society's Relay For Life is coming to Newtown.

This Monday, January 28 at 6:30pm, a kick off meeting will be held in the cafeteria at the Council Rock North High School. The Relay For Life event will be held June 8 at Council Rock North High School.

What is Relay For Life?

At Relay For Life events, communities across the globe come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The funds you raise truly make a difference in the fight against cancer – just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year!

Relay teams camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around a track or path at a local high school, park, or fairground. Relay events are up to 24 hours in length and, because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times.
