A kick-off celebration for Enumclaw’s 2013 Relay For Life is planned for 6 p.m. Thursday in the Enumclaw High School commons.

The meeting is for anyone interested in participating. During the Thursday session, organizers will explain the American Cancer Society’s flagship fundraiser and detail how the money is used.

This year’s Relay For Life will take place  July 13-14, again at J.J. Smith Elementary.

Last year’s Enumclaw vent attracted 395 participants and raised approximately $110,000. The goal for 2013 is to generate $117,000 in pledges.
