The Relay for Life of Sebago Lakes
Region starts Saturday night at 4 p.m. and wraps up at 5 a.m. on Sunday
morning.
Last year the event raised $70,000 and
they are hoping to exceed that this year, said sponsorship and publicity chair
Emily Wainwright.
The event will be more kid friendly, she
said with the addition of a coloring contest, dessert tasting contest and a purple
bounce house.
Vendors will be set up throughout the
night and there will be basket raffles and a jail where people can pay to have
their friends arrested and the friends must raise money to get out of jail.
There will also be a Zumba class at 3 a.m. and a caregiver and survivor
reception at 4 p.m.
All of the money raised goes to the
American Cancer Society to pay for research, rides to treatment for patients
and wigs. “The money goes where it’s needed the most,” Wainwright said.
The public is invited to register that
night, or to just come check out the event and be a cheerleader. The opening
ceremony is at 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.relayforlife.org and put
in 04062 for the zip code. Also visit them on Facebook under Relay for Life of Sebago
