Relay for Life Coming to Rabun County

The Rabun County Relay for Life is coming up on Friday.

The event will be taking place Friday night on Main Street in Downtown Clayton.

Tracey Long with the American Cancer Society said everyone is invited to downtown Clayton  Friday, and also spoke about the relay’s fundraising goals.

“Just come out and be a part of the Relay for Life and the fight against cancer,” said Long. “Our goal this year is $16,000, which I don’t think we’ll have a problem meeting at all.”

The event kicks off at 7 p.m. Friday night, with the survivor walk taking place at 7:15. The event will continue until 10 p.m.

Long said that an area of Downtown Clayton will be closed for the relay, but there is plenty of room for everyone to come out.

“We’re only closing off the area from the red light at Reeves to the Old Clayton Inn,” said Long so there will still be plenty of places to park at the Clayton Pharmacy and the church and all of those areas.”
