June 20th, 2015 by admin
The 2015 Cass County Relay for Life was held on Friday night at the Atlantic High School Track with hundreds of supporters participating and large donation money raised. Sunny weather welcomed a day full of events that began in the morning with a tractor ride that left from the Cass County Fairgrounds hosted by the Mahle relay team.
A motorcycle ride also was held starting at 1:00pm at the Atlantic City Park and ending at Relay for a donation presentation by the Windbags and UCC Riders team.
The survivor dinner took place at the Atlantic High School commons from 4:30pm-6:00pm with a big turnout of survivors enjoying a meal graciously donated by the Atlantic HyVee.
At 6:00pm survivors took to the track to open up the Relay event and celebrate another year of birthdays with all others present cheering them on. The beautiful night included a variety of entertainment, education, kids activities, food and other fun.
The Luminary ceremony wrapped up the night honoring loved ones lost and supporting those still fighting Cancer. The committee announced at the end of the night that the running total of donations was at $60,678 to support the American Cancer Society and the fight against Cancer.
The committee would like to send a huge thank you to all participants, teams, sponsors and all others that help make Relay for Life in Cass County a huge success.
