Trumbull Co. prison hosts cancer society Relay for Life event Monday

LEAVITTSBURG — The Trumbull Correctional Institution and Trumbull Correctional Camp here will host an American Cancer Society mini Relay For Life beginning at 8 a.m. Monday.

The one-day relay will feature many of the activities that take place during a typical two-day event. This includes a volleyball tournament, golf, a variety of games and musical entertainment.

It is estimated that 452 offenders will take part in the mini Relay.

All offenders also will have the opportunity to walk in honor of cancer survivors and in memory of those who passed away from cancer.

In 2007, TCI and TCC hosted a similar event that raised $1,000. No event took place last year.

Information about various types of cancer, including lung, prostate colorectal and breast cancer will be available.
