Orange City, Iowa — Last year’s Sioux County Relay for Life was a little different due to COVID. It was a cruise night. This year’s Relay will be a little unusual as well.
Gerry Bomgaars is on the committee and he tells us about this year’s Relay for Life, which will be in Orange City.
Bomgaars says the event will be this Wednesday, July 28th at the Windmill Park in Orange City. He says it might be hot, but they’ll have plenty of water available for everyone. He says kids’ games will be played and the playground will be open for them as well.
Luminaria to honor a survivor or in memory of someone who is done fighting their battle with cancer can be purchased online, at local banks (Bomgaars suggests calling your local bank to see if they have them), or at the Relay event on Wednesday.
Bomgaars says the pork sandwich meal will be available for a free-will donation, but cancer survivors get their meal for free. He says they also especially invite the caregivers as well.
Bomgaars says we’ve come a long way, but there is much to be done yet as far as research and also to help victims and their families. Again, the Sioux County Relay For Life will be this Wednesday evening at Windmill Park in Orange City, starting at 5:30 p.m.
