Pictorial: 2017 Union Co. Relay for Life honors survivors, raises funds

Relay For Life is a community based fundraising event of the American Cancer Society. Each year, more than 5,000 events take place in over twenty countries.

The money raised through Relay events helps the American Cancer Society’s mission to save lives, celebrate life, and lead the fight for a world without cancer. Donations are used to fund life-saving cancer research, patient support services, prevention and education information, and detection and treatment programs.

Due to threatening weather, the Union County 2017 Relay for Life on Friday, June 16th, was moved from BNA Park to the Fairgrounds.
