MERIDIAN —     The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Lauderdale County will hold its monthly team captains’ meeting in Mississippi Power’s lower conference room, 2401 11th St., today at 5:30 p.m.

   The meeting also will be an opportunity to register a new team and begin fundraising efforts.

   The overnight Relay For Life event will be held on Friday, May 4 beginning at 6 p.m. at Meridian High School’s Ray Stadium.

   The world’s largest grassroots fundraising movement, Relay For Life mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and provide participants with an opportunity to fight back against the disease.

   Relay brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups and other people from all walks of life – all aimed at furthering the American Cancer Society’s vision of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

   For more information on registering a Relay For Life team contact Bobbie White, Relay For Life Team Recruitment Chair at (601) 479-5733 or visit www.relayforlife.org/lauderdalems.
