The 2013 Relay for Life of Mt. Pleasant is hosting an Oyster Roast kick-off party on Saturday, December 1.

The Oyster Roast will be held at Shem Creek Bar and Grill, located at 508 Mill Street, from noon - 5 p.m. with great food and drink specials plus live music provided by Cody Walker and Meet the Sky. A $6 donation will be collected at the door and will benefit the American Cancer Society.

Relay for Life, which takes place in the spring, is an annual event that raises money each year for the American Cancer Society. The majority of the money raised by the local Relay for Life will stay in the Lowcountry.
