The Relay will kick-off at 7:00 with the National Anthem followed by the Survivor’s Lap. Teams will be walking around the courthouse square to raise money to fight cancer. The Luminaria Ceremony will be at 9:30 on the north side of the Courthouse.

There will be a couple of new activities as part of this year’s event---including the “ Miss Survivor” pin-up contest sponsored by the Brown County Bombshells and a car show.

All proceeds from the event will go to benefit the American Cancer Society.

Brown County Commission Chairman Steve Roberts Monday signed a proclamation declaring Friday as “ Relay for Life” day in Brown County, and encouraging residents to participating in the event.
