The Relay Committee expressed “a sincere thank you to all who made this event a success…the teams, our sponsors, donors, all who participated in the event, entertainers, those who set up for the event and packed up at the end of the night. Each of you helped make our event a great success!”
“We each relay for our personal reasons, but we come together as one with the same vision to help everyone affected by cancer. Every dollar raised not only helps support cancer patients today, but also helps the American Cancer Society fund research for cures for generations to come.”
