The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

DAYTON – Relay for Life of the Blue Mountains 2015 will start on Sept. 19 at the Dayton Athletic Complex, and conclude at 7 a.m. on Sept. 20. This year’s theme is, “Life may be a Twister, but Sorry, cancer, we’re In It to Win It!”

Relay for Life is an organized, overnight community fundraising walk. Teams camp out around the track and members of each team take turns walking the track. The evening is filled with food, games, and activities for participants and attendees.

Relay for Life event participants and visitors are able to celebrate the victory of local cancer survivors during the Survivor’s Lap; remember those who are fighting cancer or those who have lost their battle to the disease during the Luminaria Ceremony; and participate in the Fight Back Ceremony, which gives everyone a chance to proclaim his or her own way of taking action against the disease.
