Relay for Life set Fri. at Gresham Motorsports

The Jackson County Relay for Life will kick off with the opening ceremony Friday at Gresham Motorsports Park, Lyle Field Road, Jefferson.

“Plan to attend to cheer the survivors, join in the activities, hear the wonderful entertainment that’s lined up, take part in the luminary service, buy food, raffle tickets and other items from the teams and overall have fun,” said Sandra Fite, one of the organizers. “What better fun could you have while you are helping us raise money to fight cancer?”

Survivors are invited to participate in the Survivor’s Walk.

“If you are a survivor, please come join us,” Fite said. “The relay is about survivors and their battle in overcoming cancer. You can still register Friday night.”

Survivors are invited to the track around 6 p.m. to register and then enjoy food and drinks in the survivor area. One caregiver can join each survivor.
