Relay for Life seeks participants

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Douglas County invites residents to join its annual fundraiser.

A team captain meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s Meeting Room A.

Relay for Life involves teams of 8 to 15 participants who take turns walking around the Free State High School track for 12 hours, beginning at 7 p.m. June 13, to raise money for cancer research. Teams may camp out while music, games and entertainment go on throughout the night. This year’s theme is One World, One Cure.

Thursday is the deadline to register a team. For more information, call Stacie Schroeder at (800) 359-1025 or e-mail stacie.schroeder@cancer.org.
