River Falls is gearing up for an exciting battle against cancer with the return of the American Cancer

Society's Relay For Life of River Falls - Pierce County. The event will take place at River Falls High School on April 12, featuring a nostalgic 1950s Sock Hop theme.

Last year's success, which raised over $81,200, has inspired the planning committee to approach this year's event with even more enthusiasm and energy.

Relay For Life is not just a fundraiser; it's a symbol of hope, resilience, and community unity in the fight against cancer. Volunteers are crucial to its success, and the planning committee is actively seeking additional help. Your time and energy can make a world of difference, and you're encouraged to embrace the 1950s theme.

But that's not all. Relay For Life invites you to gather your friends, family, or coworkers and create a team for the event. Forming a team is a fantastic way to show support for loved ones affected by cancer and make a lasting impact. Register your team at https://relayforlife.org/riverfallswi and contribute to the fight against cancer.

Event Chair Tammy Sharon expressed excitement about this year's unique 1950s Sock Hop theme, with a goal to surpass last year's impressive fundraising total. The funds raised support cancer research, patient services, advocacy, and early detection programs. Your involvement can help pave the way for advancements in cancer treatments and contribute to finding a cure.

Mark your calendar for April 12 and head to River Falls High School for a night of nostalgia, inspiration, and camaraderie at Relay For Life. Wear your best 1950s outfit and dancing shoes as participants take turns walking or running around the track to ensure cancer research continues.
