Elmhurst Kicks Off Relay For Life Season

ELMHURST, IL — Community members will unite to launch Elmhurst’s 13th Relay For Life season. The season will kick off at Red Arrow Tap Room, which has chosen Elmhurst Relay For Life as their charity of the month and 20 percent of proceeds from the launch will be donated to the Relay For Life of Elmhurst.

The organization said money raised will go toward fighting cancer by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back. Launch Party activities will include team sign up, luminaria sales, raffles and a How Well Do You Know Elmhurst game.

The Launch Party will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, March 1.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is an overnight community celebration where individuals and teams camp out, picnic, dance, play games and take turns circling around a track “relay” style to raise funds and fight cancer, according to the organization. The event opens as cancer survivors lead the way around the track and are honored with the Survivor Lap.

Red Arrow Tap Room is located at 111 E First St., in Elmhurst.
