The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® of Dearborn will officially kick off on Feb. 3 at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Ave.

 Community members are invited to attend the Kickoff Celebration in Studio A at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center to launch Dearborn’s 2010 Relay season and the organization’s theme of  “celebrating a world with less cancer and more birthdays.”

 The Kickoff will feature speakers from our community and will honor cancer survivors and caregivers. Dearborn Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr., will be the opening speaker.

 Registration and dinner, donated by Salsarita’s Fresh Cantina, will begin at 6 p.m. Event chair, Denise Abdullah, and committee member Morris Goodman, both cancer survivors, will host the festivities.
