Relay for Life is a way to stand up to cancer and to help raise community awareness.

The event starts on June 1, at 6:00 p.m. at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds. This event is for anyone who has been affected by cancer, whether it’s from a family member or friend.

People have made a lot of progress in regards to fundraising; there are 173 participants, divided into 48 teams, and over $38, 305 has been raised so far for this great cause. Some activities include:

  • Overnight relay-style
  • Teams of people camp out around a track in the Ozark area
  • Members walk around the track 
  • Food, games and activities can be brought
  • Fun for the whole family and for the entire community
  • Survivors lap
  • Candles are lit to show love and support
  • Final ceremony is conducted

If you are looking to get involved and can’t make it to the event, a great way to show your support is through donation. To give a donation you can do it online through the website. Show the people of Springfield how much they mean to you and come support this great cause!
