For the sixth year in a row in Austin and Albert Lea, Stadheim Jewelers will host annual Relay for Life events.

Stadheim Jewelers has worked with Relay for Life committees each year to provide Pandora jewelry to participants in the Mower County and Freeborn County Relay for Life events. First time participants receive a Pandora bracelet and Angel of Hope charm. Repeating participants receive an additional charm selected for the Relay event each year.

Currently, there are more than 300 participants for Mower County and about 700 for the Freeborn County event. Each participant is invited to Stadheim Jewelers to receive their free gift of Pandora Jewelry.

The Austin Stadheim event is Thursday and the Albert Lea event is July 30. Both events run from 2 to 7 p.m.

The Relay for Life is scheduled for Saturday at the Mower County Fairgrounds. Events start at 6 p.m. and are open to the public. The Relay for Life started in Austin in 1994, with nine teams that raised about $11,000.

Last year, more than 450 people participated in Mower County Relay For Life and raised more than $85,400.
