Although Relay For Life 2010 did occur on April 17th it is still a big part of the end of the year. Relay For Life is known as the biggest event that is held here on our TAMUCC campus. In 2009 Relay raised over $25,000 dollars towards cancer research while this year with money still coming in, we've raised $40,000. It was a really big night with 50 teams that participated even though it rained for portions of the night. Here's a video clip of the first lap showing cancer survivors and other participants as they started out the night. Even though the numbers dwindled because of the weather, we still had people from 6pm on the night of the 17th who stayed till 6am the following day! There were prizes awarded to top fundraisers, top teams, and those who showed spirit toward the American Cancer Society's motto of "Celebrate, Remember, Fight Back". For more information on the event as well as the numbers that the different teams ended up achieving please feel free to visit www.relayforlife.org/tamucctx
Hope to see everyone come out next year!!
