POWDERSVILLE – The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life of North Anderson County will hold its annual fundraiser next Friday at Wren High School.

“It is the largest fundraiser in the world and it is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society,” said Wes Porter, chairman of the Relay for Life North Anderson. “Our communities of Powdersville, Piedmont, Williamston, and Pelzer come together all year and form relay teams.

Porter said that there are 27 teams right now for the May 3 event.

“We raise money throughout the year, and our goal this year is $84, 000,” Porter said. “On the night of the event, we will have a survivor’s dinner at 5:30 p.m. at the freshman academy at Wren High School, and then we will meet at the football field.”

Opening Ceremonies will begin at 7 p.m.

“The first lap will be only for survivors and the second lap will be for the caregivers,” Porter said. “The third lap will be team laps and then the relay will get started.”

Porter said that the participants will walk all night from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

“The theme of the event is that cancer never sleeps so we won’t for one night,” Porter said.

The event will also include community activities such as vendors and bounce houses for kids.

Oconee County - The Oconee Humane Society will be hosting two mega adoption events at area PetSmarts on Saturday, June 22. One will be at the Seneca PetSmart in the Applewood Shopping Center on Highway 123 from 12 noon to 4:00 p.m. It will be sponsored by the Seneca Foothills Elks Lodge #2822. The other with be held at the Easley PetSmart next to Walmart on Highway 123 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Cats and dogs and puppies and kittens will be available at both locations. Cats and kittens will be inside the stores while dogs and puppies will be outside (weather permitting). All animals are microchipped, spayed or neutered, dewormed and will have age appropriate vaccinations. Dogs over 6 months of age are heartworm tested negative, and cats are tested feline leukemia negative. All animals are also eligible for a free one-month veterinary insurance coverage.

Additionally, PetSmart offers each adopter a free “goody bag” which includes coupons valued at $200.

Cash or check payments for adoption fees can be made at either store, and the Seneca location can also accept credit cards.

Oconee Humane Society always has cats and kittens available in the Seneca PetSmart’s adoption room, so if you’re not in the market for a new cat now, keep these cats in mind when you are ready to adopt. Both dogs and cats are always available at the shelter on Sandifer Blvd., and all of these animals are listed on the OHS website.

If you can’t adopt but would like to help, donations would be appreciated. Ask about the foster program and other volunteer opportunities at the shelter or special events. For additional information, please visit oconeehumane.org
