Four north Fulton County cities will come together to raise money in an effort to defeat cancer.

This year’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life North Fulton - JAMS will be held on Friday, May 1. The event will combine the fundraising efforts in the cities of Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Milton and Sandy Springs into one event.

Mike Petchenik, reporter with Atlanta-based WSB-TV, will emcee this year’s fundraiser. The festivities will start at 6 p.m. at the Milton Center stadium with an official ribbon cutting; that ceremony will be followed by many talented musical acts and performers.

The night will go on to include line dancing, juggling, games, theme laps and scavenger hunts into the wee hours of Saturday morning.

Fundraising at the event includes the Dolvin Diner, the Johns Creek Fire Department smoking ribs, a city “jail” to lock up friends and many more fun antics.

It’s not too late to start or join a team. You can visit the event’s website to register and for details on the big night.

The stadium is at 86 School Drive in Alpharetta. For more information, visit the Relay For Life North Fulton’s webpage.
