The American Cancer Society sponsored Relay for Life in Ceres is set for April 12-13, 2014 but sign-ups for teams are being taken at registration night on Tuesday, Sept. 17 between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Supermoms Frozen Yogurt, 2531 E. Whitmore Avenue, Ceres.

The 2014 Ceres Relay for Life Committee will be hosting a registration night on Tuesday, Sept. 17 between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Supermom's Frozen Yogurt, 2531 E. Whitmore Avenue, Ceres.

Anyone who brings a cancer survivor will receive a free yogurt for the survivor.

The Ceres Relay for Life, which raises funds for the American Cancer Society and cancer awareness has been set to take place April 12-13.

"We are working really hard to make this really good this year," said Angela Durossette, this year's chair for the Ceres Relay. "We are putting together some really great things to bring people from the community to the actual event."

The committee met for a second time last night and expects to set the kickoff event for Oct. 1.

Funds raised in Ceres will be used to support the myriads of services and research by the ACS. Besides the medical research, the ACS offers emotional support to cancer patients and families, and volunteers provide rides for patients to chemotherapy treatments.

Anyone interested in the Ceres Relay may call the American Cancer Society in Modesto at 544-9279.
