Relay For Life Raises More Than $28,700
Alma's Third Annual Relay for Life raised more than $28,700 for the
American Cancer Society. Fund-raising efforts will continue through the
the winter term to reach the $35,000 goal.
Individuals and 35 teams of students, faculty, staff, local high school
students and cancer survivors — more than 300 participants — spent 24
hours Feb. 9 and 10 in the Stone Recreation Center walking the track,
competing in contests and hanging out.
The
top fund-raising team was the faculty/staff team, which raised $2,982.
Other teams recognized in competitions were Alpha Xi Delta, Zeta Sigma,
Gamma Phi Beta, Phi Sigma Sigma, Bruske Bunch, Naked Time and
Volleyball.
In four years, Alma College has raised nearly $120,000 for the American Cancer Society through the Relay for Life events.
