Relay for life exceeds expectations and surpasses goal
Once again the community of the Battlefords showed its generosity and spirit.
That was the sentiment expressed by the 2017 Battlefords Relay for Life Chair Stefanie Harrington following the 12-hour marathon which wrapped up early Saturday morning at the City Field in Centennial Park.
After forced to cancel last year’s fundraiser due to the lack of committee in place, this year’s event came back with a new committee and goal to build a bigger and better Relay for Life.
“We had some challenges,” Harrington said. “First, returning to a 12-hour Relay for Life rather a six-hour event was very important to the success of this year.”
