MONROE — The American Cancer Society is seeking businesses and individuals to get involved in the Relay For Life movement by displaying purple ribbons and other purple decorations from July 26 to Aug. 1. 

“Paint Our Town Purple” is a time to celebrate the lives of cancer survivors, and to have some fun with the color purple to bring attention to the American Cancer Society’s many programs and services in the community. Purple is the signature color of the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life program, which represents all cancers.

The Relay For Life of Green County event will look different this year. Utilizing the Relay’s Facebook page, a series of videos posted on Aug. 1 will feature local Relay teams, survivors who have registered online, and Honorary Survivor, Lisa Martin. In addition, a walking and drive-by luminaria event will be held from 8:15 to 9:15 p.m. Aug. 1 at the Jaycee Park in Brodhead, showcasing the luminaria bags that those have purchased in memory or honor of loved ones.
