2015: Shift to Saturday & 6-hour fundraiser on June 13

New format for Relay For Life in Woodstock
Announced officially earlier this month is a story printed in the Woodstock Sentinel- Review, noting Relay For Life is modifying its format locally -- making changes to all 3 Oxford events.
The Sentinel story by Heather Rivers, stated:

Big, bold changes are coming soon to the Canadian Cancer Society’s signature fundraiser in an effort to broaden its appeal.

Both the Woodstock and Ingersoll events will shift to 6 hours, while the Tillsonburg fundraiser will continue to be 12 hours but move around the clock to a day-time format. 
Read the story in the link below, but Relay in Woodstock for 2015 will be on a Saturday (June 13) and is set for 6 p.m. to midnight at College Avenue Secondary School.
The essential form of the event will remain unchanged with an opening ceremony, survivors' lap and luminary ceremony.
If you would like to join the Relay committee as a volunteer in any capacity, contact the office today at (519) 537-5592.
