Description:
The Montgomery County Relay for Life 2013 invites you to join them at Christiansburg High School on Friday, May 31st beginning at 6 pm.

There will be continuous music, games, ceremonies, themed laps and contests throughout the night to raise funds and awareness for Relay for Life's fight against cancer as well as to honor survivors and remember victims.

There will also be food on site as well as a food truck with multiple offerings.

The event is free and open to the public. All donations benefit the American Cancer Society.

Relay for Life will continue until Saturday, June 1st at 8 am.

The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, they fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. They save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early, by helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis, by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.4 billion, they turn what they know about cancer into what they do. As a result more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer, and countless more who have avoided it, will be celebrating birthdays this year.
