(Atlantic, Iowa) – Preparations are well underway for the Cass County Relay For Life event on Sunday, June 30th, at the Nishna Valley YMCA, in Atlantic. Relay for life is a time for the community to come together in celebration of, and support for, cancer survivors and their caregivers. Cass County Relay for Life Coordinator Carole Schuler says there no differences in how the event plays out this year, as compared to years past.

Survivors, supporters, and community members are invited to join together from 11:30-a.m. Until 2-p.m. June 30th.

Register your Relay team at www.relayforlife.org/casscountyia. You can also call 1-800-227-2345 and have an expert at the American Cancer Society get you registered.

Schuler says volunteers are needed to help the day of the event.

To kick off Relay for Life summer activities, local supporters are invited to take part in the Relay for Life raffle to help raise funds for awareness and prevention.

The drawing will be held the day of the Relay. Organizers invite the community to enjoy a Kids Zone, Survivor Meal and other activities during this special time together. The 2024 Cass County Relay for Life will conclude with a Luminaria Ceremony.
