Only 2 days until Relay for Life

Relay for Life of Stanwood/Camano Island will start 7 p.m., Fri., May 29.
Cancer survivors will take to the Stanwood High School (SHS) track first, led by J.P. Patches and followed by the SHS drum line and the relay teams.
The event benefits the American Cancer Society.
So far, almost 1,100 people involved in 95 different teams have signed up for the relay and about $140,000 has been raised.
Organizers hope for 100 relay teams, $250,000 in donations and 150 survivors taking part in the survivor lap.
There is still time to get involved with the relay. Luminaria, candle-filled bags representing someone who survived, is fighting or died of cancer, can be purchased at the relay at the luminaria tent. People can also sign up to participate at that time.

For more information, go to the Relay for Life of Stanwood-Camano Island’s Web site at . Questions can be directed to Sue Thees at sbthees@wavecable.com.
