Volunteers, team captains and event organizers are preparing for the 2016 Relay for Life Snoqualmie Valley, which returns to North Bend’s Torguson Park July 9.

Before anyone takes a step in the 18-hour walk, though, there are lots of related activities and opportunities on the schedule, including the kickoff party, set for 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 20, at the North Bend Theater.

This free event, featuring inspirational speakers, entertainment and a silent auction fundraiser, offers information about Relay for people considering forming teams, as well as an opportunity to register existing teams and start the fundraising process.

A special mystery guest is also scheduled to appear.
