During a dinner hosted by the Washington-Holmes Relay for Life, Emerald Coast Hospice and Metric Engineering, Inc., and held at Shiloh Baptist Church on Monday night, cancer survivors and their caregivers were treated to a dinner to help kick off activities leading up to Friday night’s Relay for Life being hosted at Pal’s Park in Chipley.
