AUBURN – The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Androscoggin County has announced that those interested may register a team today by logging onto www.relayforlife.org/androscogginme.

The “celebration of life” brings the Lewiston/Auburn community together in a unified effort to fight cancer. Former and current cancer patients, those who have lost a loved one to cancer, families, businesses, civic organizations and the public are invited to take part in the team event from 6 p.m. Friday, June 12, until 9 a.m. Saturday, June 13, at Edward Little High School.

Relay For Life is a family-oriented event where participants enjoy the camaraderie of a team and also raise funds to help eliminate cancer. Participants camp out at the site and when they are not taking their turn walking, they take part in fun activities and enjoy local entertainment.

Teams from companies, churches, organizations, hospitals and schools collect donations and can win individual and team prizes for their efforts.

Information about how to form a team or become involved is available from the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 or online at www.relayforlife.org/androscogginme.
