This is our second year putting together a Relay for Life team. If you are not familiar with Relay for Life, it is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society to raise money for cancer research. The idea is to raise money as a team and then perform in a walking relay which lasts all night. Last year we came in third with about $2,500 donated, losing only to two Pike teams who host/run the event each year. We want to beat the amount we donated last year and we know we can do it with your help! You can visit our Relay for Life web page here. Thank you for your help and support!
