This weekend to end the month of May, Relay for Life of Saline County will hold a fundraiser event for the battle of cancer.
On Saturday, May 31st Relay for Life is inviting the community for an unforgettable night full of live music, dance performances, food trucks, silent auction and most importantly, to raise funds for cancer patients. Saint Francis Ministries on 110 W. Otis Ave. will be the location for event, starting at 4:00 pm to 10:30 pm.
Relay for Life encourages all participants to raise funds, as the fundraiser's goal is $55,000 for the benefit of cancer patients.
According to Relay for Life, cancer continues to impact millions of lives each year. In 2025, more than 2 million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer and over 618,000 will lose their lives. Relay For Life has raised nearly $7 billion since 1985, funding research, patient support and advocacy that lead to real, life-saving progress. Every dollar helps fund breakthroughs in treatment, supports families navigating cancer, fuels programs that bring care and resources to those who need them most.
This event will highlight a special survivor celebration, a dessert bar for survivors and the heartfelt luminaria ceremony as well.
