The combined Salem and Centralia Relay for Life events will be held at the Centralia High School Parking lot on June 12th will be a drive-in event.
This year’s Theme is One County…One Mission….To Eliminate Cancer.
The event will last from six pm to ten pm. The parking lot will open at five pm.
There will be entertainment, survivor recognition, a luminaria walking path, activities, and more. Those participating in the event are asked to bring a lawn chair to sit in your designated parking area or you can remain in the comfort of your vehicle.
Masks will be required when you are away from your vehicle. No pets, alcohol, or smoking are allowed at the event.
This event is free to the public. If you would like to decorate your vehicle with posters, balloons, or signs in memory or in honor of a loved one, you may do so.
Organizers hope that the changes will not deter anyone from attending this year’s event.
You can follow up-to-date news about the Event on the Salem Illinois Relay For Life and Relay For Life of Centralia Facebook pages.
