Relay for Life is under a day away from taking over Masich Place Stadium, raising funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.
The 24 hour relay will have various activities and performances throughout the event, as well as themed laps for participants to take part in.
Director of Logistics, Victoria Bleecker says they’re looking forward to the event’s official start.
“This is our first time running this event. Of course there’s that sense of nervousness and anxiety about making sure we have all our bases covered, but overall, I think we’re very excited to see how things go, and we hope the community enjoys the event.”
So far, 52 teams and 308 individuals have pre-registered, with the event raising $69,176 as of last night (Thursday).
Bleecker said over 100 volunteers will be on-site , with over a dozen vendors and food trucks at the event.
Registration will still be open day of, with the official start of the relay at 10:00 a.m. for the survivor’s lap and team parade.
Relay for Life begins tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. with opening ceremonies, and will continue through Sunday, ending at 10:00 a.m.
