The 2012 relay, which raises money for American Cancer Society, is scheduled for 10 a.m. June 9 to 10 a.m. June 10 at the Ferndale High School track.

In the overnight relay-style event, teams of people camp out around a track and members of each team take turns walking around the track for the duration of the event. Family-friendly games, food and activities are part of the fun.

In addition to raising funds to fight cancer, the event also provides support to those who have faced cancer and anyone who has lost a loved one to the disease.

Local residents interested in getting involved with the event can sign up here or visit the relay's Facebook page for updates.
