Butler Relay Survivors and Luminaries

The Butler County ACS Relay for Life Committee has sent invitations to cancer survivors throughout the area, inviting them to the 2018 relay. Survivor Chairperson, Paulene Meyer has stated that they have not received back as many replies to the invitation as they would like. Therefore, please be reminded that if you have heard those words, “You have cancer,” you are a survivor and the committee would like to honor you.  Survivors are honored and recognized in a special way for their brave fight at the relay.  If you did not get an invitation or have not replied to the invitation you received, please call Paulene at 319-267-2559.
    Luminary bags are available throughout Butler County for those wishing to have them decorated for the July 13th Relay For Life at the fairgrounds in Allison.  Luminaries are done in a purple bag for “In Honor Of” for someone who has battled cancer or a white bag for “In Memory Of” for someone who has lost their battle with cancer.
