Everyone is invited and those who wish to volunteer that evening can come out anytime between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.

The Relay for Life is one of the biggest events for Leavenworth County, and each year it grows in the number of teams involved and the number of funds collected for the American Cancer Society.

If you want to get involved in the planning for next year’s Relay, come out and visit with one of the committee members the night of Relay. They will be glad to answer any of your questions and sign you up.
