Communities from across the area joined together Saturday and early Sunday morning for Century’s Relay for Life.

The event, which benefits the American Cancer Society, was held from noon Saturday until early Sunday morning at the Old Century High School gymnasium — forced indoors by Saturday’s stormy weather.

Click here for a NorthEscambia.com photo gallery from the event.

“It is a community joining together for a common goal — celebrating life, remembering those lost to cancer and fighting back against the disease” Paula Jernigan, Century’s Relay chairperson, said.

century-relay-066.jpgDuring Saturday’s opening ceremony, Tri-City Ledger Publisher Joe Thomas (pictured) spoke about his battle with prostate cancer during the past year — and his victory over the disease due to early intervention and technology made possible in part by the American Cancer Society.

Participating teams included the Alger-Sullivan Historical Society, Tina’s Journey, The Mud Bugs, Ernest Ward Middle School, Emerald Coast Hospice, Byrneville Elementary School, Ray’s Chapel Baptist Church, Century Correctional Institution, Students Stomping and the Century Library.

Each winner was awarded a certificate of achievement and a new bicycle and helmet. In addition, the winners autographed a billboard which has been erected in their honor and is proudly displayed on 9th Avenue, south of Hayes Street in Pensacola.

  • Jada Tucker, Bratt Elementary School

Students honored this year provided a variety of inspiration. Some honored WWII Veterans by raising money for the Emerald Coast Honor Flight; some forged friendships with the elderly in a local assisted-living facility; and others worked in their school’s garden, volunteered to push a classmate’s wheelchair, participated in Jump Rope for Heart, or reached out to their peers with help and encouragement.
