gle, but this year, if ever
there was a year the Mus-
tangs will do well, this will
be the year if we keep our

Sheridan and regional in
Bozeman), and we're look-
ing to have a strong show-
ing. We want to take this
conference and do well at

Horn County Relay For Life.
She said the society is sav-
ing lives and creating more
birthdays every day by help-
ing people get well, stay
well, and fmding cures and
fighting back.
The kick-off will be a
fun way for individuals to
learn how they can volun-
teer to serve on the event's
planning committee, regis-
ter as a corporate sponsor,
join or form a team or par-
ticipate as a cancer survivor
or caregiver. The 2010 Big
Horn County Relay is set
for July 30-31 at the Lovell
High School track.
McGinnis said infor-
mation will be available for
area businesses and organi-
zations thinking about sign-
ing on as corporate sponsors.
She said the money donated
by corporate sponsors is used
to offset the expenses for an
event of this magnitude.
"Through the generosi-
ty of our corporate sponsors,
we're able to direct valuable
dollars raised by our teams
to the fight against cancer,"
McGinnis said.
Teams may register at
the kick-off event and new
teams can learn more about
Relay For Life. Teams are
traditionally comprised of
friends, family members,
co-workers, students, social
and civic organizations and
active seniors.
