Join Relay For Life of Kane County Friday

On Friday, June 12, hundreds of Kane County residents will join together at the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Kane County, presented by Rush Copley Medical Center, from 6 p.m. Friday, June 12, to 6 a.m. Saturday, June 13, at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark, 34W002 Cherry Lane in Geneva.

Relay For Life is a community-based fundraising event where teams and individuals set up campsites at the ballpark and take turns walking or running around the warning track of the baseball field.

Each team has at least one participant on the track at all times.

Cancer survivors and caregivers take a celebratory first lap to start each event. Four million people participated in more than 6,000 events worldwide last year. The funds raised support groundbreaking cancer research, education and prevention programs, and critical services for people facing cancer. It is not too late to for community members to get involved in the event or make a donation to the Relay For Life of Kane County.
