Full event description:

The American Cancer Society invites the Herkimer area community to honor cancer survivors and caregivers and pay tribute to those who have lost their battles with cancer to participate in Relay For Life. Relay For Life is a 24-hour community celebration where individuals and teams camp out, barbecue, and walk or run around a local track “relay” style to fight cancer. Funds raised support cancer research, education, advocacy and patient services in the Mohawk Valley.Cancer survivors are invited to celebrate their triumph over cancer by participating in an inspirational “Survivors’ Lap” to open the Relay For Life.

Each year a new theme is chosen. This year’s theme is Circus: Laughter in the best medicine. If you are a Relay participant, or are interested in joining Relay For Life or learning more information about this unique event, please join us at our Relay Kickoff. This year’s kickoff event will be on Thursday, February 26, 2015 at 6 PM at Francesca’s Banquet Hall at 144 East Main Street in Ilion, NY. Refreshments will be served.
