The Relay For Life of Guthrie County is asking the community to join them in the battle to fight cancer with an event coming up.
Cancer survivors and anyone affected by cancer is welcome to participate in the Relay For Life of Guthrie County. The event will have a silent auction and a lunch starting at 11am, opening prayer and ceremony at noon and then local entertainment will perform and a cake walk at 1pm. Committee member Jenna Morris tells Raccoon Valley Radio they want this event to be a place where people can share their cancer stories and remember those that have lost the battle with this terrible disease.
“We just hope that we get a lot of people involved. It is a community. It’s a county. That’s why it’s Guthrie County. We want everybody from all over Guthrie County. Stuart, Menlo, Adair, Casey Guthrie. Panora, Yale, Jamaica, Bagley. We want all the towns to come together to help celebrate our loved ones and the ones we have lost.”
The event will be from 11am until 3pm on September 11th at the Panora City Square Gazebo. The Relay For Life will be accepting free will donations and also those planning on attending encouraged to register.
