MOULTRIE, Ga. — “Come One, Come All!” Plans are underway for Colquitt County’s 2022 Relay For Life scheduled for 6-10 p.m. Friday, April 29, at the Colquitt County Agricultural Complex. The theme is “Carnival For A Cure!”
For more than 35 years, Relay For Life has joined the community together to remember loved ones lost, honor survivors, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives from cancer, according to a press release from local Relay organizers. Dollars raised each year help in countless ways: funding and conducting research, providing education, and advocating for the needs of cancer patients and their families, and providing services throughout their cancer journey.
