WPCNR MAIN STREET JOURNAL. May 4, 2006: Student Volunteers from the White Plains Youth Bureau pitched in with the American Cancer Society to alert White Plains to the coming American Cancer Society Relay for Life, the campout for cancer and its victims to be held June 3 at White Plains High School. The youths tied purple ribbons on light posts and the ballustrades of City Hall Wednesday afternoon.
The Relay for Life at WPHS June 3 is an overnight celebration where individuals and teams camp out and enjoy entertainment, as they take turns walking or running around a track "relay" style. At nightfall, participants light hundereds of candles placed around the track to honor cancer survivors and those who have lost their battles with the disease. For information on participating in the relay in White Plains contact the American Cancer Society at 800-ACS-2345 or visit www.cancer.org.
