Relay for Life:
Changes, Additions for 2009
The annual Bradford Relay for Life is making a couple of changes – and adding a couple of things – this year.
The first change is the time. This year's relay will be from noon June 19 to noon June 20, instead of 3 p.m. to 3 p.m.
The other change is in location. It won't be at Callahan Park this year because of a scheduling conflict.
Fran Stewart of the American Cancer Society says, "The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford was gracious enough to let us come out there and use their facilities."
Relay participants will be walking "the loop" around campus.
The tents will set up in the Hanley Library lawn.
The University is also allowing relay participants to use the Sport and Fitness Center.
The first new addition to the relay will actually be held on the night before the event.
The Fight Back Parade will start at 5:30 p.m. June 18 on Main Street and make its way to the Bradford Area High School parking lot.
Any area group or organization interested in being in the parade can call the American Cancer Society at (9814) 368-3646 before May 29.
The other event has been called "cross-dressing for cancer," but it's actually the Miss Relay contest – for men only.
Stewart explains that men dress up like women, and also write a biography about themselves. In between the Survivor and Luminaria ceremonies, the men go around the site collecting money. The money goes toward the winning contestants' team.
