Relay for Life 2020

Posted on June 7, 2020

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we relay.

We have an opportunity for people to make donations to honor their loved ones who are or have battled cancer.

Cancer never stops, so the need to raise funds to fight this terrible disease goes on.
O’Brien Mitsubishi and WJBC want to help Relay for Life of McLean county reach their goals.

That’s why we have named the entire month of June, “Relay for Life Month,” in hopes to build support for the American cancer society and you can help!
