Seattle Thunderbirds center Tyler Alos and the Thunderbirds Community Sports Foundation have teamed up in support of the Kent Relay for Life on June 1-2 at French Field.

The Kent Relay for Life will start at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 1, at French Field next to Kent-Meridian High School. Alos will run the track for a minimum of one hour at the start of the Relay For Life.

Alos and the Foundation are raising money for cancer research in two ways, according to a T-Birds media release.

Fans can make a straight donation by going to the T-Birds Kent Relay for Life website.

Or fans can call T-Birds account executive Jason Pouliott at 253-856-6844 to pledge a dollar amount for every lap Alos runs.

Fans interested in joining the Seattle Thunderbirds Relay for Life team to walk the track at French Field can register on the Relay For Life website.

The T-Birds are encouraging fans to come out to the field and help support the T-Birds/Alos team with their cheers and enthusiasm. Come have your picture taken with Alos and Cool Bird and make a donation to support cancer research.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and fight back against the disease by raising money.

Relay teams camp out at French Field and take turns walking or running around the track.
