RELAY FOR LIFE EVENT MOVES TO OXFORD HILLS COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL Join Relay for Life Oxford Hills tonight at 7 PM for their walk to raise money for the American Cancer Society. This event has been moved to Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School. The survivors dinner will remain at the same time. Heres a list of the evenings activities: Opening Ceremony: 6:45-7:00 PM The Opening Ceremony brings everyone together for a high-energy event kickoff to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, to inspire hope by sharing recent accomplishments and progress, and to remind everyone that while we are winning this battle, fighting cancer is a year-round priority. Survivors Lap: 7:00 PM During the Survivors Lap, upbeat music plays as all cancer survivors at the event take the first lap around the track cheered on by the other participants who line the track, celebrating their victory over cancer. Caregivers Lap: 6/13 7:00 PM During the Caregivers Lap, anyone who ever cared for someone with cancer walks a lap so they can be honored for their support. Caregivers walk this lap with the people they helped if they are also present at the event. Luminaria Ceremony: 10:00 PM The Luminaria Ceremony is a time to remember people we have lost to cancer, to support people who currently have cancer, and to honor people who have fought cancer in the past. The power of this ceremony lies in providing an opportunity for people to work through grief and find hope. Fight Back: 6:30 AM The Fight Back Ceremony symbolizes the emotional commitment we each make to the fight against cancer. The action we take represents what we are willing to do for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for our community to fight cancer year-round and to commit to saving lives. Closing Ceremony: 7:00 AM The Closing Ceremony is a time to remember the lives of those lost and to celebrate that each of us has committed, through our participation in a Relay event, to fight back against this disease over the next year.
