Relay for Life brings in almost $50,000
By Shara JJ Cooper
Saturday’s Relay for Life was a succes with 21 teams and 156 participants. Everyone’s combined efforts raised $47,600 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
Each team came up with a carnival themed fundraiser. Visitors were seen hoola hooping, smashing old cars, listening to live music and getting their finger nails painted. There was even a participant with portable kissing booth set up.
“We exceeded our budgets goals for both revenue and participants,” said Stacey Cassidy, event organizer. “It was a fantastic event thanks to the outstanding participants, volunteers, sponsors, entertainers and community supporters.”
