Relay For Life of Nacogdoches County will hold a tailgate-themed kick off party to officially begin its annual campaign to raise funds for cancer research from 5:15 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6, at the Nacogdoches Recreation Center.
This year’s Relay For Life is sports themed, encouraging participants to “Team up against cancer!” The kick off party will provide information on how to create a Relay For Life team, how to honor loved ones by purchasing luminarias and how the American Cancer Society is working to fight cancer.
“Our committee is so excited to kick off Relay For Life for the 2011-12 season and we’re looking forward to bringing more teams onboard,” said Derek Head, co-chair of the event.
“We have plenty of fun things planned for the whole family, including a bigger and better chili cook-off, live entertainment and more ways to show support for those fighting cancer.”
This year’s Relay For Life event is slated for Friday, March 30, 2012, through Saturday, March 31, 2012 at the Nacogdoches Expo Center. Anyone interested in creating or joining a team may call (936) 468-4611 or e-mail nacrelay@yahoo.com. For more information or to register online, visit www.relayforlife.org/nacogdochescotx.
