Relay For Life Events Held At Tate, Century (With Photo Galleries)
May 14, 2011
There were two Relay for Life events in North Escambia this weekend.
The Relay for Life of Greater Escambia (formerly called the North Pensacola Relay for Life) was held at Tate High School. Nearly 50 teams and about 1,500 people took part in the annual event which has raised over $500,000 for cancer research in less than 10 years.
Teams in the event were from across the Molino, Cantonment, Gonzalez, Cottage Hill, Ensley and surrounding areas.
The Century Relay for Life moved indoors due to the threat of rain. Teams lined the basketball court in the old Century High School gymnasium to support the America Cancer Society.

sorry I missed it . I AM A 5 TIME WINNER OVER CANCER.-I give my faith in God the reason I have did so great. Good doctors and lots of prayers also.
Thank you so much!
I can not take credit for it though, it is a GOD given talent..and has nothing to do with me. I am so proud of all the survivors that were there..and of all those that supported them!! One day there will be a cure…just trust in GOD! Thank you for asking me back and allowing me to be apart of it.
Had a great time at the Century relay for life, always inspires me to see and hear from the survivors who refuse to give up to this horrible disease, many thanks to the dedicated people who volunteer their time and hard work to make these events happen for such a great cause, thanks to all the great talent for your time and effort to provide entertainment, was glad to see Samantha Bryant back again this year, if you missed her all I can say is “wow” such a talented young singer, again many thanks to everyone who helped make this happen!!
