UPEI raises $14,800 at annual Relay for Life

UPEI's Relay for Life was another successful event raising $14,800 in its annual fundraiser to fight cancer. On Friday night, October 28, 145 student, faculty, and staff participants walked the track until 6 a.m. Saturday morning to spread awareness and celebrate the lives of those touched by cancer.

This event marks UPEI's fourth year hosting the Canadian Cancer Society's fundraiser and the 10th year that it's been held on PEI. Relay for Life is the Canadian Cancer Society's signature event, honouring people who have survived cancer, remembering the lives lost, and raising money to help find a cure.

Special thanks to all those who participated, organized and donated to this great event.
