Murphy to host Relay for Life May 11

by | Apr 25, 2019 | Latest

The five northeast communities of Garland, Mesquite, Murphy, Sachse and Wylie have been brewing up a family-friendly fundraising celebration for the 2019 Relay for Life

Relay for Life NE Communities will host a Harry Potter themed evening as teams and individuals help to raise funds to battle the worst villain of all – cancer.

Participants can board the Hogwarts Express May 11 at Murphy Central Park Amphitheatre from 4 – 10 p.m. Attendees, or Muggle residents, are encouraged to wear Wizard attire although the invitation states, “you may dress in normal Muggle manner.”

The opening ceremony begins at 4 p.m. as they kick off the event by honoring everyone who has been affected by cancer and everyone who has contributed to the 2019 Relay for Life season success. Around 4:45 p.m. there will be a Survivor/Caregivers walk for anyone who has battled or helped someone battle cancer.
