RELAY FOR LIFE OF SHELBY TOWNSHIP

SET TO KICKOFF EVENT FOR 2014



Everyone is invited to attend the Relay For Life of Shelby Township's Kickoff Event to learn more about the upcoming event and how they can
become part of an exciting and fun 24-hour event that will pave the way to a world


with less cancer and more birthdays.




The Relay For Life of Shelby Township Kickoff event will take place on February 4th at the Palazzo Grande on Van Dyke Ave.  Registration will begin at 6:30pm and the program will start at 7:00pm.  Come on out to learn what Relay For Life is all about, register your team, find out what our “rockin” theme is this year, enjoy some light snacks and drinks and let’s get this fight started! 




Relay For Life participants and visitors  have a chance to celebrate the victory of local cancer survivors during the Survivors Lap; remember those who are fighting cancer or those who have lost their battle to the disease during the Luminaria Ceremony; and participate in the Fight Back Ceremony, which gives everyone a chance to proclaim his or her own way of taking action against the disease. Donations can be made to this local Relay For Life event by visiting RelayForLife.org.  Community members also can start or join a team by following the links to their local Relay event.
