Everyone is invited to come along to upcoming information night on June 3 at Jabour Park, South Grafton, locals are invited to join one of the most celebrated community movements, the Clarence Valley Relay For Life (formerly known as Grafton Relay For Life).

Relay For Life is a fun and moving experience that raises vital funds for Cancer Council’s research, prevention and support services. Relay For Life is fun for the whole family, hosted by a dedicated team of local volunteers, is being held at Jabour Park, Minden Street, South Grafton on Saturday, June 3, commencing at 8am, finishing at 4pm.

“We have a shortened format this year (previous years were held over two days), however, all the traditional Relay For Life elements which our community love will be included – elements such as the opening ceremony, survivors and carers walk followed by morning tea, the very moving hope ceremony, and the closing ceremony. There will also be some exciting local entertainment throughout the day and delicious food for purchase” said Meghan Nelson, Clarence Valley Relay for Life Committee Chairperson.

“Relay For Life is packed full of fun, and inspiration and your participation helps support Cancer Council research, information and support services. We would love you to be part of this beautiful community event. Why not get a group of workmates, school mates or friends together, register your team, get into the spirit of Relay For Life and start fundraising. Register as a Survivor or Carer and participate in a special Lap of Honour the morning tea or just come and show your support on the day.”

In the lead up to this amazing community event, The Clarence Valley Relay For Life Committee is hosting an information night. The Relay For Life committee invite all people who might be interested in being part of this community event, but unsure if it’s for them, to come along and ask questions about the event. For those who have registered, we encourage you to come along and pick up shirts for your team and a relay baton that you can decorate prior to Relay.
