Relay for Life Slated
The Howard-Glasscock Counties Relay for Life event is scheduled for Friday, May 16 - Saturday, May 17 at Blankenship Field in Big Spring from 7 p.m. - 8 a.m. It is one day, one night and one community (Howard and Glasscock Counties) pulling together by participating, honoring cancer survivors, paying tribute to the lives lost to the disease, and raising money to help fight cancer.
The Glasscock 4-H Cancer Warriors team is accepting members and donations from the community! Any 4-H member, kindergarten through a senior in high school, is welcome to join the team. (Each kindergarten through second grade student must have a parent or designated adult chaperone attend with them.) Persons attending, youth or adult, must register as a team member to participate. An adult may choose to attend only as a chaperone, but will not receive a T-shirt and must leave the grounds prior to midnight if not a registered team member. If you would like to become a 4-H member, contact the Extension office at 354-2381 to receive a registration form.
