Bradley County Hosts Annual Relay For Life On Saturday

  • Saturday, April 29, 2017

The courthouse square was blocked off in downtown Cleveland on Saturday for the annual Relay For Life of Bradley County. 

The annual event to raise awareness of cancer in its many forms and donations to fight and end the disease attracted many hundreds of cancer survivors, their families, friends and caregivers.

The Cleveland Fire Department Honor Guard presented the American flag.

Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland greeted the crowd. The mayor said everyone in the large crowd has cancer, survived cancer, is related to someone who has had cancer or has a friend who has faced cancer. 

Vendors set up booths around the block where relay teams walked. Musicians and speakers shared a giant stage. Dozens of teams represented area schools, churches and industries.
