On June 9th - 10th, 2006, Plumb Lodge #862 F&AM participated in the American Cancer Society’s 10th Annual Relay For Life® of Southwest Jefferson County, held at Valley Traditional High School, located at 10200 Dixie Highway.

Relay For Life® is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back against this disease. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team keeps at least one team member on the track at all times.

Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. It is a night for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another. Relay gives you the power to help accelerate the Society’s advancement toward a future where cancer doesn’t take the lives of our friends and family.

Plumb Lodge #862 F&AM was so very proud to play a part of the Relay phenomenon, and only by working together can we accelerate the progress to a cancer-free future.
