We’re just a month away from Carlsbad’s annual Relay for Life celebration. The event has typically taken place in the spring, but, as with many events, there has been a recent reshuffling of schedules due to COVID-19. Relay for Life is set for Sept. 23 at the Carlsbad Beach. 

Relay for Life is an annual fundraiser that supports research into curing cancer and providing assistance to those who are battling cancer. Supporters walk laps around the park to raise awareness and funds.  Organizer Angela Campos says she’s especially interested in getting everyone registered as soon as possible through the webpage relayforlife.org. All registration is online and survivors will have their shirts mailed to them, so the sooner they register the better.

We hope you’ll participate in Carlsbad’s Relay for Life this year. For more information, please call Campos at (575) 200-8582.
