Relay for Life returns to Main Campus

Written by , Posted in Around Campus, Events, Living

The 12th annual college Relay For Life of Temple University starts at 6 p.m. on Friday in McGonigle Hall. Relay For Life is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society to celebrate the survivors, remember those lost to cancer and to fight back against the disease.

Sponsored by Colleges Against Cancer, the organized, overnight community fundraiser walk involves teams of people walking in turns. There will be food, games and activities available, including the Survivors Lap, which allows all cancer survivors in attendance to take the first lap of the evening. The walk will continue until 3 a.m. on Saturday. Volunteers must register online at www.relayforlife.org/patemple.
