Community members will gather at Central Park in downtown Winter Haven on Friday, March 13, for the annual Relay For Life of Polk County, an evening dedicated to honoring cancer survivors, remembering loved ones lost, and raising awareness in the fight against cancer.
The event begins with a Survivor Dinner at 5:00 p.m., followed by the Opening Ceremony at 6:00 p.m. Community members, supporters, and teams will come together throughout the evening to recognize those impacted by cancer and show support for ongoing research and advocacy efforts.
“Relay For Life is more than a walk – it’s a chance to come together in your local community to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against every cancer as we come together for every life.
Be a part of the global community of passionate supporters working to help end cancer as we know it, for everyone.”
Relay For Life events are held in communities around the world and serve as both a fundraiser and a symbol of hope for those affected by cancer. Participants often form teams, walk in honor or memory of loved ones, and take part in activities designed to inspire and support the mission to end cancer.
