The Gorham High School (GHS) Interact Club is holding a satellite Relay for Life event on Sunday, May 3, at the GHS track, under the umbrella of the Relay for Life of Greater Portland.

The Club currently has approximately 155 members and is hoping to have 100% participation throughout the day. Club members will be walking/running the track from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.

Participating members are actively trying to solicit donations on behalf of the GHS Interact Club team to meet a goal of over $10,000. The donations help raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society.

The Club is also inviting family, friends, neighbors and members of the Gorham community to watch the “Survivor” lap to support and honor those who have been directly affected by this disease. Club members will be decorating luminary bags which will be lit for the “Survivor” lap around 6 p.m.

If anyone is a cancer survivor and would like to take part in the survivor lap, or if you would like details about making a donation, please email neile.nelson@gorhamschools.org.

With one in three people expected to experience cancer in their lifetime, it’s likely everyone knows someone who’s been affected by the disease. Please donate to see fewer people diagnosed, and more people surviving cancer. Give what you can. Every gift, large and small, makes a big difference
