The local Ellwood City Relay For Life has announced two exciting events happening later in March. Committee meeting details are also made available to the public as the committee seeks to spread the word about the Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society right here in our home town.

The cities of Fontana and Rialto recently held their annual Relay for Life at Summit High School. Supporters and survivors who attended the event raised thousands of dollars for cancer research.
