19th annual Relay For Life fundraiser nets $39,000
Early morning showers Friday moved the 19th annual Allen County Relay For Life from the courthouse square to the Recreation Community Building in Riverside Park.
The change of venue didn’t stop the teams from raising money for cancer research. Preliminary total raised for the Relay was $39,874.
The top three teams were: Iola Sisters $13,747; Gates $8,258; Calvary United Methodist Church $3,925.
Of 173 participants; 84 were cancer survivors.
Luminarias glowed inside the rec building while names of cancer survivors and those who have passed were named.
The word hope lit up the darkened gym as a reminder a cure for cancer has yet to be discovered.
