Relay for Life teams in Dawson County are going strong.

Relay for Life of Dawson County has surpassed numbers from this time last year with the number of teams planning to participate, survivors registered and dollars raised.

We are exited about where we are with a little more than a month remaining before the Relay for Life walk and festivities begin on May 20-21 at Dawson County High School.

Several teams are participating in the “Paint The Town Purple” day scheduled for April 16 to promote awareness and generate funds for the great organization.

On this day, Relay for Life will be seen and heard all around town.  Come out to any or all of the locations and support Relay for Life of Dawson County.

If you are interested in starting a new team, joining an existing team, registering as a survivor, or would like to purchase a luminaria in honor or memory of someone - contact Suzanne Hendricks, community manager at (770) 297-1176, Ext. 23 or Jay Walker at (706) 216-5500.
