Relay For Life raised $150,090 for the Canadian Cancer Society, despite being down three teams and 74 participants over last year.
“Considering that, we smashed it out of the park, we beat them all,” said thrilled co-ordinator Jen Dies.
She offered grateful thanks to volunteer leadership co-ordinator Sheryl Anderson and her team, sponsors, entertainers, the Elks who accommodated the event and the community that topped Kelowna’s $86,000 and Vernon’s $88,000 totals. Dies is confident the Salmon Arm Relay for Life will meet its $160,000 goal. For more images of the event,
