The Colleges Against Cancer Chapter at Misericordia University is holding a two-day Relay For Life fundraising event on campus from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. April 1-2 to benefit the American Cancer Society. The public can support the event by forming a team or participating individually for a $15 registration fee per person. Each participant receives a Relay For Life T-shirt. Area businesses can purchase advertising space in the program and people can place a remembrance ad or purchase an ad in the program that honors a loved one or friend. Colleges Against Cancer is also selling American Cancer Society Relay For Life luminarias for a luminaria ceremony that will be held at dusk on April 1. A recommended donation of $10 is sought for each bag, but any donation will be accepted. The organization has also organized the ’Friendly’s Night to Support Colleges Against Cancer’s Relay For Life’ from 5-8 p.m. on Tuesday at the Back Mountain Friendly’s Restaurant. A percentage of the proceeds made at that time will be donated to the event for the American Cancer Society. To register for the event, or to purchase a luminaria or an ad in the program, contact Graeff at 570-617-2108 or graeffc@misericordia.edu.
