Time still to register for Parkersburg Relay for Life

PARKERSBURG — American Cancer Society officials say there is still time to register for this year’s Parkersburg Relay for Life. Community Development Manager Carmen Hathaway said those interested in forming or joining a team should go to the organization’s website at relayforlife.org/woodwv.

“They can go there and sign up. They can form their own team or join an existing team,” she said. “They can also register as a cancer survivor or purchase a luminaria in memory of a loved one.”

Hathaway said there is no registration fee.

“We just ask that our teams raise money prior to the event and that they have a campsite fundraiser as well,” she said.

This year’s Relay for Life runs May 19-20, but many teams and individuals have already been fundraising for the past four months.

“We have a fundraising app that is very easy to use,” she said. “Pictures can be taken of someone’s donation (by credit card or check). They can also send text messages through the app.”

The app can be found through an app store by searching for “American Cancer Society,” she said.

“They can also fundraise through our website,” Hathaway said.

The Relay for Life is open to the public, and all camp sites will offer some form of fundraising event, such as selling items.

“It will be a wonderful event,” Hathaway said. “Please come join us.”
