Funds raised help the ACS provide free information and support for people facing the disease and fund cancer research to help protect future generations. According to event co-leader Kelly Smith, the event celebrated those who have survived cancer, remembered those who lost their battles, and took action in the fight against the disease. The following participants were recognized for their efforts: The Naturals, Top Fundraising Business Team; Friends, Top Fundraising Friends and Family Team; and Jessi Frantz, Top Fundraising Individual. Founded by Dr. Gordy Klatt in Washington in 1985, the Relay For Life movement is the world’s largest fundraising event to save lives from cancer. During Relay For Life events, members of each team take turns walking or running around a track. Teams participate in fundraising efforts in the months leading up to the event.
