The TEEN Coalition's Relay for Life team members are Christopher Larcade, Crystal Chambers, and Kyle Alderson, captains; Kayla Harkreader, Danni Powell, Trey Mabray, Trace Wilkerson, Jac Powers, Erin Martin, Heather Clayton, Niki Alderson and honorary member, Trey Brown.
The Relay For Life is an annual American Cancer Society event to be held June 17 and 18 at the Sallisaw Football field.
"The Relay for Life starts at dusk and ends the next morning. The light and darkness of the day and night parallel the physical effects, emotions, and mental state of a cancer patient while undergoing treatment," Larcade said.
The team is currently raising money and accepting donations. All proceeds will be given to the American Cancer Society which remains the largest source of private, nonprofit cancer research funds in the nation, Larcade said.
A luminaria ceremony will take place during the relay to pay tribute to those lost to cancer and to honor those still fighting, Larcade said. A luminaria donation is $5.
To order a luminaria or to help sponsor the TEEN Coalition's team by making a donation, call Niki Alderson at (918) 427-4031 or (918) 427-7227.
