Each year, Relay for Life hosts events all over the country to
raise money, raise awareness, and honor those affected by cancer. The event
includes a walk that continues for the twelve hour duration of the event, a
Luminaria, to honor those affected by cancer, and a survivor walk. During the
Luminaria, participants of the event purchase a luminary candle on which they
write the name of their loved one
affected by cancer.
This nationwide event coming to Kennesaw's campus is surely a sign of the school's rapid growth. "Allowing Kennesaw State to hold our own Relay for Life is not only
great PR for the school but it supports a great cause, with this it shows the
community that KSU wants to be involved and wants to fight the battle with
everyone effected by cancer," said Olivia Rhodes, KSU student. Rhodes participated in the Cobb Relay events throughout high school and was one of many students excited to see an event happen just for KSU.
