The Wake Forest/Northern Wake Relay for Life is moving to Richland Creek Community Church on Burlington Mills Road, a move made to control expenses and dedicate more funds to the American Cancer Society’s work to find a cure and support survivors.
The Relay serves Rolesville, Wake Forest and North Raleigh and will be held Saturday, May 16, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Teams are needed from businesses, schools, families, churches and neighborhoods to raise funds during the time leading up to the Relay. You can sign up at www.RelayForLife.Org/NorthernWakeNC or call Marty Coward at 919-760-3520 or martycoward@nc.rr.com for details. You can also attend a team meeting Thursday, May 7, at 6:30 p.m. upstairs in the Mill Room at The Factory on South Main Street.
This year’s Relay features a pancake breakfast May 16 from 8:30-10:30 a.m. Plates are $5 per person and include three hotcakes, two sausage patties and coffee or juice. Teams may come for breakfast before they set up campsites.
Cancer survivors are invited to the pancake breakfast (for free). Survivors will then be honored during opening ceremonies at 11 a.m. At 6:30 p.m., survivors are served a BBQ dinner, then are recognized at a luminary ceremony at 8:30 p.m. Survivors may register at www.relayforlife.org/NorthernWakeNC (click the orange SIGN UP button) or RSVP to Michelle Tyson at 919-426-7733 or tysonfour@ymail.com.
