This year’s Brown County Relay for Life event is themed “We Can Be Heroes,” based on superheroes, and is set for Friday, June 6 from 7pm-7am at Gordon Wood Stadium in Brownwood. The public is invited to attend the relay event as well as any relay fundraisers. To sign up and be a part of this year’s event or for more information, please visit the Brown County Relay For Life website.
The American Cancer Society West Texas Region shared the reason why people gather for these relays each year on their facebook status, “Every year, the Relay For Life movement 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. We’re fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer, in your community and everyone else’s.”
The West Texas Region of the American Cancer Society is made up of 105 counties (including Brown County), 60 Relays, and 1000+ volunteers make up the West Texas Region of the American Cancer Society.
