During our Relay for Life event, teams of friends, family, churches, clubs, and businesses, camp out overnight at River Bends Park and take turns walking around our track starting at 10am until 8am the next morning… because cancer never sleeps. Each of the teams raise money through fundraisers at their campsites all while listening to bands, a DJ, bidding on silent auction items, honoring survivors and joining together to “’Toon Out Cancer”! Come on out May 20th starting at 10am for a day full of fun.

Everyone can make a difference in the fight against cancer! To join the cause or to learn more, call the American Cancer Society at 248-663-3404, visit here or on Facebook.
