The script is still being edited. The cast list is growing. Why aren’t you joining this all-star cast for the hit movie, “Fillmore County Fights Cancer.” The stars of this show are not just the performers—they are the survivors and caregivers that we Relay for, organizers note.

Have you been touched by cancer? Are you willing to spend some time writing the script that seeks a happy ending? The time commitment is whatever you want it to be—you can fund-raise, donate, start a new team or join an already established one (there is still time), or join us on July 28 for our celebration. With all of Fillmore County working together, we can write the ending of our script with the words, “The residents of Fillmore County are ready to fight back so that no one will have to hear the words, ‘You have cancer’.”

The next meeting is Tuesday, May 8, at the Fillmore Central High School at 6 p.m. If you are not able to be there, but are not willing to let cancer control the ending of this script, please contact Denice Kovanda at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
