Relay For Life of Oak Lawn-American Cancer Society Relay For Life set to “Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back.”

Oak Lawn Ill.– The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Oak Lawn will be held from 6:00 p.m. Saturday, July 23 to 6:00 a.m. Sunday, July 24 at Oak Lawn Park Pavilion, 9401 S. Oak Park Ave., Oak Lawn.

Relay For Life of Oak Lawn is an annual overnight event to celebrate the lives of those who have cancer, remember those lost to the disease, and fight back against a disease that takes too much. Teams of local businesses, schools, churches, community groups and families raise funds - prior to and at the event - to help fund support services for area patients and their families, cancer research, community educational programs and advocacy initiatives.

Anyone wishing to form a team, participate in survivor activities, or honor a loved one with a luminaria, should contact the American Cancer Society at 708-633-7770, or visit www.relayforlifeoaklawn.com. You can also find us on Facebook at “Illinois Division Relay For Life.”
