Many residents will join together in the fight against cancer this weekend during the Relay For Life of Franklin County.
The annual event gets underway at the Brookville Town Park on Saturday at 9 a.m. and will be ongoing until Sunday at 9 a.m.
Relay For Life is family friendly and serves as an opportunity to celebrate those that have overcome cancer, remembering loved ones lost, and providing a chance to fight back against the disease. The event supports the American Cancer Society’s mission to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures and by fighting back.
Activities include music, a bone marrow drive, pretty baby contest, Relay’s Got Talent, and a Luminaria Ceremony to honor and remember everyone touched by the disease.
All community members are welcome to attend and you do not have to be on a team to participate.
The Relay For Life of Ripley County will be held Saturday, June 21 to Sunday, June 22, from 8 a.m. to 8 a.m.
