The Livingston County Relay for Life begins Friday with entertainment, food and special ceremonies.

Staff Partner Mallory Audo explains the event that’s happening at Williamson Field at Pontiac Township High School, beginning at 4 p.m.

“It’ll be a little more of a family fun night focus. We will still have all of the traditional aspects that our Relay for Life has had in our last 21 years we’ve been in Pontiac. It’ll be a little bit different format. It will a little different format and we’ll be celebrating our survivors and remembering and fighting back against this awful disease,” Audo said.
