The 13th annual Relay For Life event in Taylor will be held in Heritage Park May 16 and 17.
Since lace represents a 13th anniversary, this year's Relay for Life theme is "Lace 'Em Up - It's Time To Hit The Track." Teams can register at www.relayforlife.org/taylormi. Survivors, even if they aren't affiliated with a team, can register at that website as well. The relay is always looking for new committee members and new teams.
Meeting dates for the Relay for Life in Taylor are April 9, 30 and May 14. All meetings are at the William Ford Senior Activities Center, 6750 Troy, in Taylor. Teams are not required to raise a minimum amount because the Relay for Life campaign believes that every penny counts, and you never know which dollar is going to be the one that finds a cure.
The event lasts 24 hours and kicks off early Saturday morning around Coan Lake. There will be parades, music, speeches, many fundraising booths, food and plenty of entertainment. The survivor walks officially kicks off the event. A DJ will be on hand during the entire event. At dusk on Saturday, May 16, all of the luminarias sold will be lined up around the lake and lit, which will set the stage for a silent memorial walk.
In 2014, the Relay for Life in Taylor raises approximately $140,000 to fight cancer.
