SPARTA -- This weekend’s Relay for Life will add a few activities in the event’s fifth year. The Relay runs from noon June 10 to noon June 11 at Sparta High School. On June 10, a sky lantern send-off will be added to the annual luminaria ceremony after dusk.
The lanterns can be purchased at Relay and names of loved ones who died of cancer can be written on them. Another new event is a recognition of caregivers, just before dusk. Caregivers will be honored in their own lap around the track.
The annual survivors lap starts around 7 p.m. and will include a giant chain, where each link represents a year of participants’ surviving cancer. More teams than ever, 41, are signed up, with the goal of raising $120,000.
