BRODHEAD - The American Cancer Society is seeking businesses and organizations to get involved in the Relay For Life movement by displaying purple ribbons and other decorations Saturday through June 24. Purple is the signature color of the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life program, which represents all cancers. "Paint Our Town Purple" is a time to celebrate the lives of cancer survivors and have fun with the color purple to bring attention to the American Cancer Society's many programs and services in the community.

People also can help "Paint the Town Purple" by doing other activities, including putting up purple-themed displays in storefronts, swapping out white light bulbs for purple ones or selecting a day for everyone to wear purple at work or school.

The Relay For Life program is a community event where teams and individuals set up campsites and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Cancer survivors and caregivers take a celebratory first lap to start each event. The money raised supports cancer research, education and prevention programs and services for people facing cancer. The Relay For Life of Green County event will take place June 24 at the Brodhead High School track. The event is open to the public.
