Bishop Kearney team raises $4,000 for cancer research
Students from Bishop Kearney High School became warriors in the war against cancer and raised $4,000 for the effort to find a cure for the devastating disease.
The money was raised by students who took part in the 19th Annual Relay for Life event sponsored by the American Cancer Society. Relay for Life, which takes place in cities and towns across the U.S. and around the world, is one of the largest fundraising events for the American Cancer Society.
The relay is an all-day happening in which dozens of participating teams walk continuously around a track on an athletic field to symbolize the determination to beat cancer. The participating teams raise money for the cancer society through pledge donations from family members, friends and co-workers.
