The Relay For Life of Southern Wood County will be held on May 21 and 22 at Bowling Green High School.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is an overnight community celebration where individuals and
teams camp out, barbecue, dance and take turns walking around a track relay-style to raise funds to
fight cancer. At nightfall, participants will light hundreds of luminaria around the track in a moving
ceremony to honor cancer survivors, as well as friends and family members lost to the disease.
