PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Cancer survivors, caregivers, those who have lost loved ones to the disease and community members will gather Friday, June 19, at Onota Lake for the annual Relay For Life.
Rain or shine, the walk goes on.
The event is a major fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and Relays are held across the nation. The Northern Berkshire Relay For Life was held several weeks ago at Noel Field in North Adams.
Teams and individuals will walk to raise money for the battle against cancer tonight and into Saturday in the South/Central Berkshire County Relay For Life at Burbank Park.
Activities are planned for a full 24 hours, beginning with music in the survivors' tent beginning at 4 p.m. The traditional survivors' lap begins at 6 p.m. and the luminaria ceremony at 9. Survivors are encouraged to ask their caregiver to walk with them.
Area residents are invited to come for an hour or for 24 to join in the fundraising effort to eradicate cancer.
