Dogs Join Fight Against Cancer

goes to the dogs with its Bark in the Park event to raise money to fight cancer.

Lyons Township High School and Relay for Life will hold an all dog relay on April 22 from 1-3 p.m. at the LTHS West Field, located at the corner of Gilbert and Cossitt avenues in La Grange.

Those walking their dogs will need to register by April 15 online at the school's webstore at www.LTHS.net. Registering costs $20 and gets you a nifty t-shirt, if you sign-up before the 15th. Registration will also take place at the gate on the day of the event.

This year's Relay for Life event marks the 10th anniversary of the school's efforts to raise funds to fight cancer with Relay for Life. The school has set a goal to raise $1 million over that 10-year time. Currently, the school has raised $841,000 and hopes this year they'll reach and even surpass their goal.

Those individuals interested in donating should make checks out to LTHS with Relay for Life in the memo. Contributions can be mailed to Kris Costopoulos at LTHS South Campus, 4900 S. Willow Springs Rd., Western Springs, IL 60558.

Donations are also accepted through the Relay for Life website here.
