The Relay for Life of Tri-town is asking residents and businesses to help it "Paint the Town Purple" to raise awareness in the fight against cancer.

From May 23 to June 14 are asked to help turn the town purple by decorating front entrances, fences, doorways, home and store windows with lights, bows, ribbons, balloons, candle lights and anything else purple.

Purple is the color of hope for cancer survivors as they walk the track during  Relay For Life events.

The tri-town Relay for Life is scheduled for June 13 from 3 p.m. to 8 a.m. on June 14 at Old Rochester Regional High School.
