We are going to proceed with our survivor lap and luminaria ceremony as planned this evening! It will be a brief celebration, but we are excited to have an opportunity to recognize our survivors and our loved ones lost to cancer!

A quick update: While the chance of rain has decreased, there is still some concern about the conditions at the park after yesterday's weather and the possibility of additional rain this afternoon. We will evaluate the conditions at the park this afternoon and will make a final decision between 4:00 and 4:30. Please help us spread the word!

An early weather report shows a 60% chance of rain and storms on Friday. We will keep an eye on the forecast throughout the week and will decide Friday afternoon if the event will be held that evening or if we will reschedule. Thanks for your understanding!

Sunday, June 5 is National Cancer Survivors Day! Survivors are the heart of Relay For Life events, and we are thankful to celebrate so many fighters in our community. Thank you for helping us paint the world purple with HOPE. We love you, survivors!

Today is Relay For Life's 31st birthday! We are so thankful for the movement Dr. Gordy Klatt started and for the support our event has received since OUR first Relay! The fight isn't over yet, but with your help, it CAN be. Join the fight at www.relayforlife.org/sccova.

31 years ago today, Dr. Gordy Klatt began the 24 hour journey that would become Relay For Life, the world's largest movement to end cancer.

And while we're not finished yet, we've accomplished so much since then. You can bet that when we finally close the book on cancer, Relay For Life will be there to write the final chapter!
