Each year, millions of people help save lives from cancer through the Relay For Life. Here in the St. Cloud area, 98 Country will be taking part in the fight on June 5th & 6th -- and we'd love you to join us. So why are we talking about it now? Because the Relay For Life Kickoff is coming up this Thursday night (1/29); and you're invited!

As a two-time cancer survivor myself, I'd like to invite you to join me to learn more about the American Cancer Society Relay For Life at the 2015 Kickoff event on Thursday, January 29th from 5:30 to 6:30 PM at Auto Value Parts Store's Training Center (2959 Clearwater Road in St. Cloud). - Pete Hanson

The Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to Celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, Remember loved ones lost, and Fight Back against the disease.

All team members, team captains, survivors, caregivers, sponsors, volunteers, cancer fighters, and anyone who's interested are encouraged to attend. If you've ever been curious about the Relay For Life, January 29th is your night!

You'll get plenty of Relay information, inspiration, fun, and food. The Kickoff will include door prizes, team captain gifts, and gifts for all new teams that sign up that evening.
