Relay for Life Moved Inside Braintree High School Friday Night

See the attached PDF for the full, revised schedule tonight.

This weekend's Relay for Life event for Braintree, Milton and Randolph has been shortened and moved inside because of the rainy weather forecast.

The event will take place inside the cafeteria at Braintree High School from 6 p.m. to midnight Friday night, June 7. It was originally scheduled at the track for Friday and Saturday.

From the event organizers:

"More than 400 community members, representing more than 50 teams, will walk and raise funds to help the Society save lives and create a world with more birthdays by helping people stay well, get well, find cures, and fight back against cancer.  

"Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.  Relays are held overnight as individuals and teams camp out at an athletic track, park or other gathering area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the event.  To learn more visit RelayForLife.org."
