First Seaford Relay for Life to Launch Wednesday

Seaford community members will unite at a rally Wednesday evening to officially launch their first Relay For Life season for the American Cancer Society.

The rally scheduled for 7 p,m. Wednesday in is aimed at educating the community on how their involvement with Relay for Life benefits the American Cancer Society’s goal to save lives and create more birthdays.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is an overnight community celebration where individuals and teams camp out, picnic, dance, play games and take turns circling around a track “relay” style to raise funds and fight cancer. The fundraising event opens as cancer survivors lead the way around the track and are honored with the Survivor Lap.

Founded  in 1985, Relay For Life began with one man who circled around a track for 24 hours raising $27,000.  This year, Relay For Life has grown to more than 5,000 communities and more than 25 countries worldwide.
