CRESTVIEW — The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Crestview will have a kickoff for its new fundraising season.

It starts 6:15 p.m. Jan. 29 in the Crestview High School cafeteria, 1250 N. Ferdon Blvd.

The community is invited to come out and learn more about the Relay For Life movement and how they can help the American Cancer Society attack cancer from every angle.

People will have the opportunity to register a team for the Crestview Relay for Life, which is 6 p.m. to 2 p.m. April 20-21 at CHS.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is the world’s largest peer-to-peer fundraising event to save lives from cancer. At Relay events, participants celebrate people who have been touched by cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action for lifesaving change.

Funds raised help the American Cancer Society attack cancer in dozens of ways, each of them critical to achieving a world without cancer — from developing breakthrough therapies to building supportive communities, from providing empowering resources to deploying activists to raise awareness.
