With just a little more than a week remaining until the opening ceremonies, survivor lap and the flurry of activities that will make up the Relay For Life of Escalon in 2016, teams are putting the final touches on their game plan for the 24-hour event. The American Cancer Society’s signature fundraising event, Relay For Life brings together teams of family members, friends, business associates, church members and more to walk laps around a track for a 24-hour period. The goal is to both raise money for cancer research, treatment and patient services and to raise awareness about the disease and what steps you can take toward a healthier life and reduce your risk factors.
