Castro Valley Relay for Life

The Castro Valley Relay for Life is on July 19-20 from 9am-9am at Canyon Middle School.  Relay is the American Cancer Society’s signature event. Participants celebrate cancer survivors, remember those lost to the disease and fight back through educational activities.  Everyone is invited to attend, support the teams and fight back against cancer.

                Relay is an all ages’ event.  During the 24 hour event, teams will fund raise through various activities including games and food sales. There will also be a silent auction.

                Entertainment highlights on Saturday will include “Michelle’s Dance X-plosion” at 1:45, “The Anomalies” Improv Team at 2:15, 9 acts from the Castro Valley High Choir program at 4:30 and Raya Vion’s Blues 8 pc electric and power funk band at 6 PM.
