The 2018 Cass County Relay for Life is tonight at the Atlantic High School Track. A wide range of activities will be available throughout the day to help raise money to fight back against Cancer, celebrate survivors, and remember those lost to the disease.

Action got underway this morning with the Relay for Life Tractor Ride that departed from the Cass County Fairgrounds.

All survivors in the area are welcome to attend the survivor meal with check-in beginning at 4:30pm. All survivors and one guest are welcome to come enjoy a free meal generously provided by Hy-Vee and enjoy fellowship with fellow survivors. Survivors will receive a survivor shirt and pin. Pennants will also be available for purchase in honor and memory of loved ones during the survivor meal leading up to the Relay kickoff on the track.

Activity on the track begins at 6:00pm with the reading of pennants and the Survivor Lap. All survivors and caregivers are welcome to walk around the track for the opening lap of Relay. The public is encouraged to some out and show their support for all the survivors in the area and cheer them on during the opening lap.

Education, activities, food, and entertainment will dot the rest of the night. Stop by the Education Tent for free treats and educational information. Bid on silent auction angel food cakes until 7:45pm and check out the other fundraisers that many teams will have going.  Kids will enjoy a bounce house and other games on the south side of the field. Entertainment will be provided by guitarist Bradley Dennis, Dance Atlantic, and Mike and Nancy Gibson. Food and cotton candy will be available for purchase from the Atlantic Kiwanis and Lewis Life Preserver’s team.

Come out to the Atlantic High School track tonight for a night of Celebration, Remembrance, and Fighting Back against Cancer.
