Despite all the negative press the town has received over the past couple of years, it’s especially important to remember that the people of this area are truly wonderful. A prime example of this will be down at Hosmer Field this Friday night at the American Cancer Society’s fundraiser, Relay For Life. It’s an amazing sense of community gathered together for a common cause.
The “Relay” as it is called by those who are part of it, is an all night event to raise money to fight cancer. It’s a chance for those whom have been affected in some way by this terrible disease to connect, draw strength from each other and share their burdens. There are many events held at the field for all age groups. For some people, the highlight of the night is the luminary ceremony where the track is lined with candles in memory or honor of a loved one. Every name is read in this emotional ceremony. All night long team members can be seen walking the track in support of those they lost or are hoping not to lose.
The Relay For Life is a beautiful event, mixing fun, socializing, shopping, playing and support, all to raise money for this important cause. If you’ve never been to a Relay For Life Event, we HIGHLY recommend it. Make it a family event.
