at the Ellicottville Central School Track. Tributes will also be paid to those who have lost their battle to cancer during the American Cancer
Society’s annual Relay For Life event to support cancer research, education, advocacy and patient & family services in the community. Relay
For Life is an overnight community celebration where people camp out, barbecue, dance, and take turns walking, running or otherwise moving
around a track “relay” style to raise funds to fight cancer. At nightfall, participants will light hundreds of luminaria candles around the track in
a moving ceremony to honor cancer survivors as well as friends and family members lost to the disease. Relay For Life represents hope that
those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day, cancer will be eliminated. Since
