Relay For Life, an event created by the American Cancer Society, is an event that takes place to raise money for the fight against cancer. This particular disease is significant because it touches every life. Out of Door Academy has been taking part in the event for several years now.

Relay For Life is a celebration of survival and the lives of the those who passed. The school encourages their students to help create awareness and raise money for a cure. This year’s theme was Games. To raise money, students dedicated time during the months prior to  the event to raise money. In order to raise even more money, students operated fundraising booths or attractions at Relay. Baked goods, carnival games, candy, and more were sold. One enterprising group of senior boys even offered single and group hugs for donations. These students raised over $200 just from hugging people at the event.

Although the celebration has passed, there is always time to give money. Donate now at www.relayforlife.org
