W walking — Relay for Life participants make their way around the luminary-lined track. The annual event was held April 27 at the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fairgrounds.

Local residents gathered for a singular purpose on April 27 — more birthdays. The annual Relay for Life in Bulloch County kicked off at 5 p.m. at the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fairgrounds, and organizers called this year's event a "huge success." Survivors gathered with loved ones who remember those who fought brave battles, along with others who just want to fight cancer.
