– Relay for Life held at Larson Center

Jamestown (CSi) The Stutsman County Relay for Life was held Friday June 8 from 6-p.m., to midnight at the University of Jamestown LARSON CENTER.

RFL Stutsman County Co-Chair Doreen Brophy says rain and possible storms Friday night prompted the change in location.

Also, the Survival Social will now be at the Larson Center, from 4:30-p.m., to 5:30-p.m., with the speaker, Judy Hager.

Hager adds that Luminaria may be purchased at a suggested donation of $10 each, by calling her at 320-8548, and can also be purchased at the start of Relay for Life.

She says 1,300 lighted Luminaria bags are planned to set up with 900 names to be read during the Luminaria time, those battling cancer, or have lost their battle.

Co-Chair Doreen Brophy says this year goal is to raise $55,000 in the fight against cancer, with 13 teams on hand.

This year’s theme is: Carnival

Most teams have games and some teams have food, including walking tacos, hot dogs, slushies, and hot fresh baked cookies.

With the Relay Contest, members dress up in carnival or relay theme, and mingle among the crowd collecting donations.

Events and activities include:

The Survival Social, with all cancer survivors invited, on Friday from 4:30-to 5:30-p.m., AT THE LARSON CENTER. The speaker will be Judy Hager.
