American Cancer Society to Paint Green County Purple for Relay For Life

The American Cancer Society is seeking businesses and organizations to get involved in the Relay For Life movement by displaying purple ribbons and other decorations from June 16 – 23, 2018. “Paint Our Town Purple” is a time to celebrate the lives of cancer survivors, and to have some fun with the color purple to bring attention to the American Cancer Society’s many programs and services in our community. Purple is the signature color of the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life program, which represents all cancers.
People can also help “Paint the Town Purple” by doing other activities, including putting up purple-themed displays in storefronts, swapping out white light bulbs for purple ones, or selecting a day for everyone to wear purple at work or school.
The Relay For Life of Green County event will take place June 23rd at the SLICE Ice Arena in Monroe. All community members are invited to attend. The event will begin at 1:00 p.m., and an opening ceremony is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. Cancer Survivors and Caregivers will walk a celebratory lap at approximately 3:45 p.m.
