Proceeds of the annual event go to the American Cancer Society. The public is invited. You do not have to be on a team to come. All cancer survivors are invited to attend the Cancer Survivors Reception Friday at 5 p.m. at the Helm's House (beside the museum). The opening ceremony is set for 6 p.m. The first lap of the relay is for survivors. The second lap is for family, caregivers and survivors. There will also be a small parade at 7 p.m. The luminaria service is at 8:30 p.m. The service is a time to remember those who lost the fight and those that continue to fight! The theme is "Celebrate...Remember... Fight Back!"
