Relay for Life is a fundraising event that comes to Bloomsburg Universities campus every year to raise money towards cancer research.
The club on our campus, College Against Cancer, ran the event. The three top teams that raised the most were the Student Nurses Association, Program Board, and College Against Cancer.
Some of the food that was being sold by the teams were hot dogs, buffalo chicken dip, baked goods, ice coffee and srunchies. All proceeds went to the American Cancer Society.
The grand total that we raised at this years Relay for Life event was $34,741.
