Nocatee to host Relay for LifeBack to News

Nocatee will be the host site for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life this Saturday, June 11th. The event will raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society while bringing together people from all walks of life to fight for a worthy cause.

Relay for Life is a fundraising event in which teams of people campout for 18 to 24 hours.  It celebrates the strength of those who are battling cancer and remembers others who have lost their battle. The event will include available concessions, face painting, crafts, and more.

The Relay will begin with a Survivors Lap that is dedicated to those who have battled or are currently undergoing treatment for cancer.  As the sun sets, participants will take time to remember those who have lost their lives to cancer with a Luminary Ceremony. Each luminary will bear the name of a person affected by cancer. Each team will have a team member walking or running laps on the Relay course at all times; cancer never sleeps, neither do the Relay participants.

The Nocatee Relay for Life will begin at Noon on Saturday and continue through 6:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. The event will be located on the field adjacent to the Nocatee Splash Water Park.
