Relay for Life of Black Diamond, Covington and Maple Valley will be hosting an informational meeting from 6-8 p.m. on Dec. 9 in the city council chambers at Covington City Hall.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is seeking volunteers in Black Diamond, Covington and Maple Valley – walkers, cancer survivors, caregivers, youth, community leaders, anyone wanting to make a difference – to organize and recruit fundraising teams, garner community support, coordinate logistics, seek refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment and lend a hand to organize a Relay For Life.

Relay For Life events are held overnight as individuals and teams camp out at an athletic track, park or other gathering area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening. Teams do most of the fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their campsites during Relay. Relay brings together people from all walks of life, all aimed at celebrating the lives of those who have had cancer, remembering those lost, and fighting back against the disease.
