Here's the official Bluffton-area Relay For Life schedule

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 4, 2014 - 2:12pm

Following the announcement from the American Cancer Society that they would no longer include Bluffton as an official Relay for Life event, a local planning committee chose to develop an independent event.  In an effort to control administrative costs, the American Cancer Society of Northwest Ohio has chosen to consolidate Relay for Life events into large county-wide programs. The Bluffton planning committee voted to continue the annual summer event as a third-party event in support of cancer research.
