The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Douglas County will be held at South Junior High School this year instead of Free State High School.

The change in locations was announced during an informational meeting Tuesday night.

Relay for Life involves teams of eight to 15 participants who take turns walking around a track for 12 hours. Teams may camp out while music, games and entertainment go on throughout the night. The event celebrates cancer survivors, supports current patients and remembers loved ones. It also raises money for the fight against cancer.

This year’s event will be from 7 p.m. June 12 until 7 a.m. June 13.

It’s not too late to sign up. For more information or to register, call Stacie Schroeder at 800-359-1025 or e-mail stacie.schroeder@cancer.org.
