Starting this evening is Dauphin’s annual Relay for Life and there is still time to sign up.
There are a few changes to this year’s event such as location and duration of the event.
This year’s event will be held indoors at the Credit Union Place to prevent from inclement weather interfering with the event.
Also the relay runs from 6:00 in the evening to midnight. The committee felt that the event was too long for people to commit to and in the summer time, people are busy with other events; so they wanted to make it more accommodating.
Angela Kotyk Chairperson, tells us about the other ways relay raises money for the cause.
“There are raffles that are going on, like there’s teams there that are actually fundraising, as well we do fundraising for the event there with a raffle table and different things going on. All the money raised goes to the Canadian Cancer Society.”
