RELAY FOR LIFE: West Valley City will host a "Relay For Life" for the American Cancer Society on June 8 and 9 — an event that "is designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer in our community." Money will be raised for the ACS to help its lifesaving mission.

The event begins at Centennial Park (5415 W. 3100 South) at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 8, and teams will walk or run laps until Saturday, June 9, at 9 a.m. Each team keeps at least one member on the track throughout the relay.

"It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived," states a news release from the organization. "It is a night for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another. During this event, we honor survivors during the Survivors Lap and we remember those we lost to cancer during the Luminaria Ceremony. We also celebrate life, friendship and a chance to work together toward a cancer-free future."
