Relay For Life La Grange Postponed The Relay for Life committee in La Grange has made the decision to post-pone this year’s Relay to a date in April 2024 (TBD). This was a tough decision that had to be made at this time, due to lack of interest and participation from the community. To be successful, the Relay walk event needs a committee to organize the event, teams to fundraise, walkers, sponsors and attendees at the event to support all persons affected by cancer. Please follow Relay for Life of La Grange on Facebook and watch for future fundraisers and registration dates via news, local radio and Facebook. If you have supported the event, the committee extends its deepest gratitude to you and appreciate it more than you know.
