The Early Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon cutting for the American Cancer Society to help promote their upcoming event.
The Brown County Relay for Life event is set for June 6 from 7 p.m. to 7 am at Gordon Wood Stadium in Brownwood. Every year, the Relay for Life movement across the West Texas Region raises more than $400 million. The American Cancer Society puts these donations to work, investing in groundbreaking research in every type of cancer and providing free information and services to cancer patients and their caregivers.This year’s event theme for Relay for Life is “We Can Be Heroes,” based on superheroes. The public is invited to attend the event as well as support a fundraiser.
