Rain Spells Early End For North Pensacola Relay; Goal Almost Reached
May 3, 2010
The North Pensacola Relay for Life was cut down to just four hours, but organizers say they have almost reached their $90,000 goal.
Over 1,000 people were taking part in the Relay event Friday night in Pete Gindl Stadium at Tate High School when lightning forced an end to the festivities about 10 p.m. The Relay had began at 6 p.m. with a “Thunder Lap” of motorcycles and Relay’s signature Survivors Lap that honors those that have defeated cancer.
The fundraiser for the American Cancer Society had raised about $85,000 before the Relay’s early end, but organizers said there is more money to be turned in and a few remaining fund raising events to go.
All proceeds from the North Pensacola Relay for Life benefit research by the American Cancer Society.
