Celebrate success of DP/PR Relay for Life
A HUGE thank you to the residents, businesses and community leaders who supported the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life of Des Plaines/Park Ridge on June 26 at Maine West High School.
More than 200 community members celebrated over 65 cancer survivors during this fun-filled overnight event.
Led by a 12-member committee of volunteers from both communities, the Relay raised more than $40,000 that will fund cancer research and provide vital services to cancer patients in the Northwest suburban area.
Thank you again to everyone for your support and participation. See you next year!
Veronica Schwartz, chairwoman
Relay For Life Des Plaines/Park Ridge
