Relay For Life is getting started early and is looking for volunteers to help with the annual event.

The American Cancer Society is seeking volunteers in Mower County to be a part of the annual Relay For Life event scheduled for July 23-24, 2016. Community volunteers lead and organize each local event with the support of Society staff. From assisting with planning the annual event to taking part the day-of, there are various volunteer opportunities for interested community members.

A meeting will be held for interested community members at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 2 at the Mower County Senior Center.

“The Relay For Life movement is all about our community uniting to finish the fight against cancer,” Angie Hughson said in a press release. “We rely on the support of volunteers to help make the Mower County Relay For Life event a success.”
