Relay for Life Co-Chairs Carolyn Flagg and Alan Callery welcomed over 100 attendees to the 15th annual Relay for Life Kick-Off event held Tuesday, February 22, at the new Criminal Justice Center.
The program, conducted entirely by cancer survivors included familiar faces such as Robert Rooks, County Mayor Franklin Smith, Dr. Jack Pettigrew, John Duckworth, Debbie Sterbinsky, Emma Delk, Ray Dixon, Hope Cannon, Donald Lee, Thalice Kinnon and Johnny Walker.
This year's Honorary Chairpeople were announced. They are John Simmons and Audrey Blue.
The HHS Show Choir performed their rendition of "Celebrate," adding to the spirit of the kick-off and the commitment to continue the fight against cancer.
This year's theme is "Rock n' Rollin' for a Cure." The big Relay event will be Friday, June 17, at the football field.
After the event, attendees were treated to a tour of the new Criminal Justice Center by Mayor Franklin Smith and Solid Waste Director Clinton Neal.
